1 January • You Belong to God's Family: Reflection for the Solemnity of Mary, The Mother of God
Welcome to this special reflection for the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God. Today, we celebrate a profound truth: because Mary is the Mother of God, Jesus can be our brother, and we can have a place in God's family.
In this video, we explore St. Paul's letter to the Galatians, which reminds us that the Spirit of Christ lives within our hearts, crying out "Abba, Father!" Even when we feel unworthy or drowned out by negative thoughts, that small, quiet voice inside us claiming our place in heaven is the true voice of the Spirit.
Join us to meditate on the unbreakable love God has for you and to silence the noise so you can hear the truth: You belong.
In this video:
- The Solemnity of Mary: Understanding why we celebrate Mary as the Mother of God.
- Divine Adoption: How Jesus' incarnation makes us brothers and sisters in Christ.\
- The Voice of the Spirit: Distinguishing the voice of God ("Abba, Father") from our own self-doubt.
- Finding Your Place: A reminder that you are good enough and you belong in God's family.
