Today's Schedule -
Sunday January 01, 2012
Sunday, New Year's Day, is the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God and also the Naming of the Child, Jesus, a special day for the Society of Jesus. In addition, it is a celebration of World Day of Prayer for Peace..
"The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."
"Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,
and in our souls take up Thy rest;
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made."
As the Octave of Christmas draws to a close, and as a new year begins, we see in these wonderfully selected readings the depthless love of God continuously poured out onto us. Each of today’s readings reminds us in a slightly different way that we are all called to be children of God, and to come and worship him in Jesus.
World Day of Prayer for Peace
* The LORD bless you and keep you!
* The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you!
* The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace!
Note: Next Sunday, 08th is the Epiphany of the Lord.
