Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

January 1, 2025 is a Holy Day of Obligation (or Opportunity!).

Jesus is the son of Mary. Jesus is God. Therefore, Mary is the Mother of God.

On this holy feast day, we take a moment as we start our new year to honor our Blessed Mother.

In her “yes” to God, her cooperation brought our Savior into the world to redeem us.

By honoring her at Mass, Mary leads us to Jesus, as she always does.
