God be Praised, I found the time to do a video on the YouTube channel (I encourage you to visit "A Catholic Presence" for my latest one)! Though still in the Season of Christmas, we are past all the officially marked holidays, including this one and New Years. I do not plan on removing my decorations for at least another week, but it's already back to the grind of working and less preparing.
Christmas is not yet over. How can we live out this sacred time within the "ordinariness" of our lives? To practice gratitude for Christ's coming down from heaven to live among us, and even to die for us? To let the "peace of Christ control your hearts" (excerpt from Collosians 3:15). We have prepared the way for Him this advent; now it is time to keep Him at the center of our lives.
What will your resolution be in this new year, and how committed are you to keeping it? I pray for your perseverance in it, your peace in it, and that you do it with love, as St. Faustina learned to do (and I shared in my latest video). May God continue to bless you, and may you magnify Him in it, as Our Lady demonstrated so well in her Magnificat.
