Father Broom gives a homily on New Year’s Day. One week ago on Christmas we celebrated the greatest gift in the universe… the gift of Jesus Christ in the stable at Bethlehem. Mary, the Mother of God, whom we celebrate today presented that gift to us.
To begin our New Year and to make it the best year of our lives, let’s give three gifts to Mary in our gratitude and love for her. Let’s present her with a clean heart – let’s fast from all sin in this year. Second, let’s give her the gift of kindness to one another. Let’s love and respect our family members every day. Third, lets give Mary the prayer she loves best… the daily Family Rosary led by the father of the family. The family that prays together stays together. A world at prayer is a world at peace.
If we do these three things, this will be the best year of our lives.
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
