TO JESUS THROUGH MARY IN THE NEW YEAR
As we celebrate New Year’s Day on the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God, I wish you 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 Divine 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. Hence, our ideal motto for the New Year 2022 should be “To Jesus through Mary!” This is an occasion to renew our devotion to Mary, who is also Mother of the Church because she is our spiritual mother — and we are the Church. The Church puts the feast of this solemnity on the first day of the New Year to emphasize the importance of Mary’s role in the life of Christ and of the Church.
The Church also observes the World Day of Peace on this day and invites us to pray specially for lasting peace in the world throughout the New Year.
