“Every day we begin again” can speak to your journey of mercy, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, new ideas, dreams, and second chances. It serves as a reminder to give yourself and others a fresh start. 

As we begin this new year, I am thinking a lot about the word “commitment.” How do you react when you hear the word commitment? What is your relationship with commitments? I invite you to reflect on this as you reflect on your intentions and how you want to enter into the new year.

On this cusp of Advent, let us stand hushed, anticipating, and still, and peer inside each reflection offered to us.  Imagine, listen, ponder, attend. Mary’s yes, at the intersection of heaven and earth, is not just a moment in time; it transcends time and empowers the future, a future of which we are a part.  “The one thing she did and does is the one thing we all have to do, to bear Christ into the world,”
