Happy New Year as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God 🙏

We sing with holy Mary In spirit, heart, and voice, Your Word Incarnate bearing,
In you our souls rejoice!
You chose her for your mother
And named her "favored one"
For Christ, our Lord and brother,
Your own beloved Son.
Grace us to live her story,
To serve you as we ought,
To sing in endless glory Our own Magnificat!

- “We Sing With Holy Mary” by Alan Hommerding
