New Years Day and Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God

We had such a great day today as a family together. We had a nice family breakfast and started the New Year going to church. I was able to go and receive the Eucharist and thank Mary for all she did. I was hoping to see more faces at Mass today but that’s okay. The people at our Parish are just so nice to us. We were told by 4 different people how beautiful our family was. They loved the way they were dressed and so on that just made my day. We also as a family got to bring up the bread and wine during Mass it was just perfect. You see one of my New Years resolutions was to be able to spend more time with God. In church and in prayer all the way around much more time then this past year. So starting the day off the way we did was just what I needed and wanted. We had a great day and spent lots of time as a family. To end the day we went to Church tonight were we prayed for World peace and for the safe return of all our Armed Forces. Oh and the baby slept through the whole thing what an awesome gift from heaven a sleeping baby during Adoration. I hope all of you had a wonderful New Year and many happy memories. Many blessing this New Year
