January 1, 2019: Feast of Mary, Holy Mother of God (and Naming of Jesus)

As we continue the celebration of the Word Made Flesh in this Christmas Season, and coming on the heels of the recent Feast of the Holy Family, we ponder the mystery of how God came to our world, born of a woman, Mary, to be the One Who saves, as is the meaning of His Holy Name.

Because God entered our world as a person, He was able to bring us salvation.  He could truly show His face to us, and bring the blessings and peace that come with His presence on Earth, by which we were saved.

It is truly a mystery for us to ponder and behold.  May it lead us to rejoice.
