Today is the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God (a Holy Day of Obligation). Last night in adoration, Father said to us that we, because of the fall of Adam and Eve, have a fractured relationship with God.  But if we turn to Mary and imitate her, we learn the real way we should be loving, trusting, and adoring God, in a perfect way.  Our New Year resolution is to do just that!  To turn to Mary with all our needs and to watch her more closely as our guide through this journey to Heaven.  She is the perfect example for us so we turn to her in Novenas and prayer devotions.

We just came across this lovely website with a Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots. Who would like to join us in this Novena?  The petition? For the protections of the Holy Priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church and especially all falsely accused priests. Mary has a very strong love for the priesthood, so in her honor on her Feast day, we begin in prayer for one of her favorite group of people.  Will you join us?  {Leave us a comment so we know who is joining us 🙂 }
