Happy Mother of God Day!

Happy New Year,  Everyone!  I hope you've been doing your best to immerse yourselves in the praise of our  mighty God and Savior this past week. It should get a lot  easier starting today, as obligations to host or attend family and social events has, for most of us, come to an end. Plus there's that New Year's motivation to make a clean start and Do Better. 

For my part, I resolve to post more frequently in 2015.

Did anyone give or receive a new breviary for Christmas?

d

Your blessed and fruitful virginity is like the bush, flaming yet unburned, which Moses saw on Sinai. Pray for us, Mother of God. (antiphon Jan. 1st)
Grant, we pray, that we may experience the intercession of her,through whome we were found worthy to receive the author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ. (Prayer for Jan. 1)
