To Those Of You Who Are Unaware That January 1st Is A Holy Day Of Obligation Within The Octave Of Christmas

It is NOT The Feast Of The $1 Beer. Rather it's "The Solemnity Of Mary, Mother Of God The Son". This is When Mary Ponders all things in Her Heart, as Jesus is Taken To The Temple, in according with the Mosaic Law, & Presented & Circumcised in accordance with Jewish Law:

As a child in Brooklyn, I remember a Full Sunday Schedule of Masses on this Feast Within Christmas;

Have fun tomorrow as the Mass Schedule is like that of an Ordinary Weekday, like it was NOTHING;

Pray For Priestly Vocations, so we can have a Full Sunday Schedule On Holy Days Of Obligation;

Hail Mary, Full Of Grace, The Lord Is With Thee, Blessed Art Thou Amongst Women & Blessed Is The Fruit Of Thy Womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother Of God, Pray For Us Sinners, Now & @ The Hour Of Our Death, Amen;

Venite' Adoremus, Dominum;

Beate' Maria Semper Virgine;

In Nomini Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritu Sancti, Amen;

Happy New Year;
