On this first day of the year, we joyfully and gratefully celebrate the Solemnity of the Mother of God, who is also our Mother.  We thank God for all the blessings received this past year and ask that he continues to enlighten the eyes of our hearts to know his love, his mercy, and his presence in each other and in our world.

 

Below is a link to a beautiful chant of the Sub Tuum Praesidium which I can't seem to import.  It was sung by the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos:

Sub Tuum Praesidium

Under thy protection

we seek refuge,

Holy Mother of God;

despise not our petitions

in our needs,

but from all dangers

deliver us always,

Virgin Glorious and Blessed.

 

A very blessed and happy 2014!
