JANUARY 1, 2011, THE SOLEMNITY
OF MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD
If you are not feeling well, please do
not drink from the cup.
Since the celebration of the Solemnity of Mary,
the Mother of God, January 1, 2011, falls on a
Saturday, it is not a Holy Day of Obligation.
Since it falls on a Saturday, the precept to
attend mass is abrogated for all the faithful in
the United States of America.

of the world (John 8:12), as well as His call
for Christians to be lights (Matthew 5:14).

the light when we proclaim Him. This is the
heart of the Christian mission to which each
of you are called through Baptism and
Confirmation. You are called to make the
light of Christ shine brightly in the world.”

STEWARDSHIP
“The Lord’s are the earth and its fullness; the
world and those who dwell in it. For he
founded it upon the sea and established it
upon the rivers.” (Psalm 24:1-2)
How can we take credit for the good things in our
lives when Psalm 24 reminds us that God created
absolutely everything and everyone on the earth?
Surely we all have an obligation to return a
portion of our good fortune to the Lord, for
without Him nothing would be possible.
Administradores

en él hay, con todo lo que en él vive. Porque el

nuestra vida cuando el Salmo 24 nos recuerda

decir: „Aquí estoy Señor, aquí estoy. Que se
haga tu voluntad.”
Porque Jesús es la luz, nosotros también
