Today we celebrate the fest day of solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. I would like to suggest taking a few minutes and listening to the song, "Mary Did You Know?" The whole song is beautiful, but there are two lines which really touch my heart and bring tears to my eyes. The first being "when you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God, Mary did you know?" The second line is "That sleeping child you're holding is the great I am, Mary did you know?" Imagine being able to hold God in your arms, feel his breath on your cheek, and have His hand wrapped around your finger. This was Mary's privilege. How amazing it must have been to hold Jesus so close to her own heart.
Today is a great day to ask Mary your own questions. What a privilege it is for us that we are able to draw so near to Mary. Let's start this new year off right by adoring Jesus in the arms of His mother.
