Synopsis of Mary Mother of God Sunday (Jan 1) & New
Year's message
Introduction: Since we celebrate the Feast
of Mary, the Mother of God on New Year’s Day, may I take this opportunity
to wish you all a Happy and Peaceful New Year? I pray that the Lord Jesus
and His mother Mary may enrich your lives during the New Year with an
abundance of God’s blessings. Today’s Feast of Mary, the Mother of God
is a very appropriate way to begin a new year, reminding us to rely on the
powerful intercession of our Heavenly Mother. The Church observes this day also
as the World Day of Peace and invites us to pray specially for lasting
peace in the world throughout the New Year.
