THE SOLEMNITY OF MARY, THE THEOTOKOS. JANUARY 1ST.

JANUARY 1, THE SOLEMNITY OF MARY THE THEOTOKOS

"The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!" (Cf Numbers 6: 22 - 27).

"Brothers and sisters: When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

"As proof that you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then also an heir, through God." (Galatians 4: 4 - 7).

Thursday January 1, 2026 in the Octave of Christmas is the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.

"Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her son, as "the mother of my Lord". In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father's eternal Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity. Hence the Church confesses that Mary is truly "Mother of God" (Theotokos)." (CCC

495).

Our key Scripture says that in the fullness of time, God fulfilled the promise He made long ago.

Are you waiting for the fullness of time on anything? Health, family, finances, job, tools and necessary resources?

Our Scripture today indicates that nothing happens until the fullness of time, the Kairos time.

Do you have a relationship with Mary the Mother of God?

Mary who after Jesus is our greatest intercessor in Heaven by the gracious and mysterious will of God is waiting to embrace and help you.

Mary is key to our knowledge and relationship with Jesus her Son.

Mary is the only human being who knew Jesus from conception to His death to His Resurrection. Mary was present at Pentecost, at the birth of the Church.

 Are all these coincidences?

NO! Each of them is an act of Divine Providence!

Divine Providence is God's loving and powerful plan, design and purpose in governing the world He created.

Your life is governed by this loving and merciful Providence. The Church teaches that Divine Providence is concrete and immediate in everything.  (CCC 303).

Mary Mother of God pray for us.

The SeekFirstCommunity Team wishes you and yours a 2026 full of Peace, Health and Prosperity:

"The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!"
