From the Office of
Liturgy and Music
We are still in the midst of a wonderful
celebration of the great Christmas
season this weekend with today's
Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary
and Joseph and tomorrow’s Solemni-
ty of Mary, Mother of God. The title
"Mother of God" is an ancient one. It's
Greek form, theotokos, or "God-
bearer," is used more extensively in
the Eastern Orthodox Church. Its
loose Western translation of "Mother
of God" was defined by the Council
of Ephasus in 431 AD. While rejected
almost entirely by the Protestant
movement in the 16th century, it has
remained a fundamental belief in the
Apostolic Tradition because of the
implied understanding of the Trinity:
Jesus is God and Mary is the Mother
of Jesus. Therefore, Mary is also the
Mother of God, an expression of the
indivisible unity of the Three Persons of
God.
Peace in the new year,

Director of Liturgy and Music

Living out Christmas in the
New Year How do we live out the message of Christmas
in the New Year, rather than pack it away
with the ornaments? Each year the Octave
Day of Christmas falls on the first day of the
New Year, on which we also celebrate the
Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the
Mother of God. Her open heart and coura-
geous “yes” to God show us how to live year-
round—with hearts open to the Lord, following
where He leads. We are called to place our
trust in Him, to
enter compassionately into the suffering of
others, and to love one another as Christ loves
us. Like Our Blessed Mother welcomed Jesus,
we are called to cherish and protect the gift
of human life, at every stage and in every circumstance.
One way to live out the message of Christmas and follow Our Lady’s example is to
join 9 Days for Life, a digital pilgrimage of prayer and charitable action. The U.S.
Catholic bishops invite you to join thousands of Catholics nationwide from
Thursday, January 18 – Friday, January 26.
Join today at www.9daysforlife.com!
