January 1st: Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God
Sunday Dec 30, 2012
Sunday Dec 30, 2012
Today as we begin a New Year, the Church honours Mary with a sublime title: Mother of God. The greatness of her motherhood is not primarily built on blood relationship. There is a spiritual meaning for her motherhood. St. Augustine rightly says “Prium concepit in mente quam corpore” which means “Mary conceived Jesus first in her mind and later in her body”. This means that Mary was filled with Jesus even spiritually. And as we begin this New Year let us ask God to help us to do the same: to conceive Jesus in our minds, to be filled with Jesus.

The Holy Family is seen as the model for the human family, the religious community and the Church itself. The Holy Family was rooted on the divine family, the Trinity: “The Christian family is a communion of persons, a sign and image of the communion of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit” (CCC. 2205). In the daily life of family and community we can touch the divine, we can come close to God.

Mary is the Advent personality Par excellence. She personifies all the waiting, the longing and the hoping of the people of Israel for the Messiah. With faith and obedience she accepted to cooperate with God’s plan of redeeming the world by bearing God’s Son in her womb: “Ecce Tabernaculum Dei cum Hominibus” (Behold, the dwelling of God is with men) (Rev 21:3)
