Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

Homily on Saturday, January 1st 2022

This homily was given by Fr. Richard on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother God. Saint Francis had a great love for Our Lady. Before his death, he wrote the praises of God and a blessing for the brothers. The blessing is one that we hear on January 1st. Every start of the new year, we ask that God may shine upon us through the Face of Jesus. God showed us His face by coming to us as a baby. Mary, our Mother, is the Mother of God. She helped to make God’s face visible.
