January 1 is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. This important Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church can easily slip past us among the New Year festivities and their aftermath.
On the Feast of the Holy Innocents, I most certainly grieve for the children who Herod so heartlessly ordered to be murdered. But on this day, my heart also goes out to the Magi.
Not all of us have grown up in a storybook family, with a storybook home, and storybook Christmas. For some, the past reads more like a horror novel, the scenes of which taunt us and throw a shadow over our joy.
Whether your day was tough or terrific, Mary is interested. Why not tell your Blessed Mother all about it?
