Thought for the New Year…
It is not how much we do,
But how much love we put in the doing.
It is not how much we give,
but how much love we put in the giving.

JANUARY 1: SOLEMNITY OF MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD & WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR PEACE
January 1 is the Solemn Feast of Mary as Mother of God and the World Day of Prayer for Peace. This year, because New Year's Day falls on a Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is dispensed. There is no evening Mass on December 31. The Mass on New Year's Day will be at 10 AM.
Prayer for
Peace
 Lead
me from death To life, from falsehood to truth
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace
Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe…
Peace Peace Peace

Prayer of St Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury; pardon.
Where there is doubt; faith.
Where there is despair; hope.
Where there is darkness; light.
Where there is sadness; joy. |

 He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor before God and man. - Lk 2:51-52
