#solemnity of mary mother of god
Gospel LK 2:16-21
The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph,
and the infant lying in the manger.
When they saw this,
they made known the message
that had been told them about this child.
All who heard it were amazed
by what had been told them by the shepherds.
And Mary kept all these things,
reflecting on them in her heart.
Then the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God
for all they had heard and seen,
just as it had been told to them.
When eight days were completed for his circumcision,
he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel
before he was conceived in the womb.
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, January 1
On the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God I place all my family & friends under her mantle. I place the State of New York under her protection, our entire Nation and the whole world. May our blessed mother look upon us with mercy and eradicate these covid viruses and all its variants off the face of the earth. May God have mercy on us all and grant us a renewed year of hope, peace, health, love, and much faith. Amen.
