December 31, 2018 · Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, Jan. 1: “Virgin Mary, all nature is blessed by you” (sermon by St. Anselm, Bishop)

Blessed Lady, sky and stars, earth and rivers, day and night – eve-

rything that is subject to the power or use of man – rejoice that

through you they are in some sense restored to their lost beauty and

are endowed with inexpressible new grace. All creatures were

dead, as it were, useless for men or for the praise of God, who

made them. The world, contrary to its true destiny, was corrupted

and tainted by the acts of men who served idols. Now all creation

has been restored to life and rejoices that it is controlled and given

splendor by men who believe in God. The universe rejoices with

new and indefinable loveliness. Not only does it feel the unseen

presence of God himself, its Creator, it sees him openly, working

and making it holy. These great blessings spring from the blessed

fruit of Mary’s womb.

Through the fullness of the grace that was given you, dead things

rejoice in their freedom, and those in heaven are glad to be made

new. Through the Son who was the glorious fruit of your virgin

womb, just souls who died before his life-giving death rejoice as they are freed from captivity, and the angels are

glad at the restoration of their shattered domain.

Lady, full and overflowing with grace, all creation receives new life from your abundance. Virgin, blessed above

all creatures, through your blessing all creation is blessed, not only creation from its Creator, but the Creator him-

self has been blessed by creation.

To Mary God gave his only-begotten Son, whom he loved as himself. Through Mary God made himself a Son,

not different but the same, by nature Son of God and Son of Mary. The whole universe was created by God, and

God was born of Mary. God created all things, and Mary gave birth to God. The God who made all things gave

himself form through Mary, and thus he made his own creation. He who could create all things from nothing

would not remake his ruined creation without Mary.

God, then, is the Father of the created world and Mary the mother of the re-created world. God is the Father by

whom all things were given life, and Mary the mother through whom all things were given new life. For God be-

got the Son, through whom all things were made, and Mary gave birth to him as the Savior of the world. Without

God’s Son, nothing could exist; without Mary’s Son, nothing could be redeemed. Truly the Lord is with you, to

whom the Lord granted that all nature should owe as much to you as to himself.

Liturgical Note: We celebrate the liturgical feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary on January 1st, in the Novus ordo (new rite).

Mary was proclaimed the Mother of God by the Council of Ephesus in 431. By the 7th century, January 1st was observed as

a celebration of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the 13th century, the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ had

come to replace the feast honoring Mary; however in 1751, after a push in Portugal for an official feast day celebrating

Mary’s divine maternity, Pope Benedict XIV allowed Portugal’s churches to devote a feast to Mary on the first Sunday in

May. Eventually, the feast extended to other countries, and in 1914 began to be observed on October 11. In 1931, Pope Pius

XI extended the feast to the entire Church, and it is still observed on Jan. 1 in the traditional Latin Mass. In 1974, Pope Paul

VI replaced the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ in the liturgical calendar in the new rite of the Mass with the feast of the

“Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God,” bringing Mary’s feast day back to the first day of the year.

The feast is a celebration of Mary’s motherhood of Jesus. The title “Mother of God” is a western derivation from the

Greek Theotokos, which means “God-bearer.” On this day, we are reminded of the role that the Blessed Virgin played in the

plan of our salvation. Christ’s birth was made possible by Mary’s “fiat,” or sanctioning of God’s plan with her words, “Be it

done to me according to thy word.” Calling Mary “Mother of God” is the highest honor we can give to her. Mary is not only

the natural Mother of Jesus; she is also our spiritual Mother in the order of grace, for no grace comes to us except through

her motherly intercession.

Annual Open House

Sunday, January 28th

1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

We enter the New Year with joy and gratitude. At SJCA, we have

so much for which to be grateful. Though school is not in session,

our dedicated staff is busy preparing their lessons for SJCA’s inno-

vative January Term. Once school resumes on January 3rd, our

Upper Campus students will be immersed in this creative, experi-

ential learning program that extends the scope of traditional educa-

tion. For eight days, students have the chance to explore everything

from chess, to forensic psychology, from conspiracy theories to

stock market simulations. In addition, SJCA juniors and seniors

spend important time interning with various businesses and profes-

sionals throughout the community. Always on the cutting edge of

educational best practices, SJCA is only one of a few schools in the

state that offers this unique educational opportunity that helps re-

veal talents, develop gifts, channel passion and shape futures. If

you are looking for a stellar school that educates the whole child,

come and see all that SJCA has to offer at our Annual Open

House on Sunday, January 28th

from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at both

Campuses. Accepting students from 3 years old through high

school. For questions, contact our Admissions Department at

(262) 654-8651 X104.
