A Special Day

Today is a special day.  We typically define good vision as being 2020; what did we see this year?  Today is the end of a year of most unusual challenges, and the beginning of new, important, opportunities in this coming year.  If you read this early enough on New Year’s Eve, you might watch the mass homily on EWTN (repeats at about 12:40P and 7:40P); it is a most special sermon.  Or, if you have access to the book The Better Part gospel meditations, you can read the Gospel of today and why John wrote those opening words of his Gospel.  He is saying at the beginning that this is the start of an opportunity to unify the world from all its differences, and it started with Jesus Christ.

And it also begins with John telling us to begin doing what He’d have us do.  As a New Year’s resolution, we need to ask Him for His will for us in this next year, and resolve to do it.  A most important New Year’s resolution on this special day, the start of our helping Him to change the world.

This is the ending of the Christmas Octive, the birth of Christ, and the beginning of our birth in Him.
