These two great figures in the Church had their share of spectacular successes and failures. They sinned, yet with God's grace they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus - and they are wonderful examples for us today. May we embrace our faith, return to Christ when we have sinned, and seek the Lord above all else!

The King of Glory comes to Jerusalem, but not in the way that people expect; rather, Mary & Joseph present their baby who is recognized by Simeon and Anna as the the Savior of the world. Simply put, God comes to us in unique and unexpected ways - inviting us to be on the watch for God's presence in our lives and open to the little ways that the Lord can take our lives and do amazing things.

Mary's title "Mother of God" began when she said "yes" to the Angel Gabriel. Chosen by the Father, she bore her Son who would be the bridge between Heaven and Earth...to save and set us free. Thus, Mary was the instrument by which the Son of God came into the world.
Which is another way of saying that God works through people. God chooses the unlikely to do amazing things...with the Lord's help.
Mary offers us an example about how we can cooperate with God's grace. When we say "yes" to the Lord new possibilities arise. As we embark on this New Year may we be open to the Lord's call in our lives and allow Christ to work through us to proclaim Good News in the world.
