Don't you all mean, Happy Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, the Theotokos?? :D

Happy New Year too I suppose.

Although there is nothing that would mark January 1st as an astronomically new phase , our conventionally singling out this day as the beginning of a new year offers us a twofold opportunity to benefit from its occurrence.

First an opportunity to look back on the year just completed, in order to gain faith perspective on what transpired in our lives during that time span: to thank God for our good experiences of the past year and also to recognize mistakes and to pray for help in learning from them (as long as our mistakes are not a repetition of the same one, they are not wasted). But also an opportunity to look ahead in faith projection with a sense of hope, not with the wishful pseudo-hope that painful things will not happen to us, but with the assured trust that, even if they do happen, God will be with us to give us strength to keep on journeying through those dark-valley experiences.
