Happy New Year.

A new day. A new year.

The other day I was watching a news commentator speak on what he would be focusing on when remembering 2012. He stated he would not be remembering the bad times he and his family had, the loss of the election in America to a very liberal man, the attacks focused on Christians by evil in the world but instead he would remember the blessings given to him by God, the promises of God and the time he had spent with his family, the love among them. I intend to do that also, as I look back. There were many political disappointments, very frightening social happenings and terrible attacks on the Catholic church, which of course need our prayers and our attention but looking back let us look at the blessings and love God gives us and His promised assistance in the future. We know he will always be with us to guide us and to love us. As we look to the future let us lean ever more strongly on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the intercession of our most Blessed Mother Mary, knowing that he has promised us His Church and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

Happy New Year.
