Happy New Year - Anno Domini 2021
“Hail, holy Mother! The Child to whom you gave birth is the King of heaven and earth forever"
With this ancient greeting, today, the eighth day of the Octave of Christmas and the First of the New Year, the Church greets the Blessed Virgin Mary, invoking her as Mother of God.
In her the eternal Son of the Father took our very flesh and through Her became "son of David and son of Abraham" (Mt 1,1).
Thus Mary is his true Mother: the Theotokos, Mother of God!
If Jesus is Life, Mary is the Mother of Life.
If Jesus is Hope, Mary is the Mother of Hope.
If Jesus is Peace, Mary is the Mother of Peace, Mother of the Prince of Peace.
Entering the New Year, let us ask this holy Mother to bless us.
Let us ask Her to give us Jesus, our full Blessing, in whom the Father blessed all history once and for all, making it become the history of salvation.
Saint John Paul II
