The last day of the Octave of Christmas
Posted: Monday, 01 January 2007 |
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (New Year's Day)
(Luke 1:42-43, Douay-Rheims Bible - click on verse for a link)
"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law: That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons." Gal 4:4-5 DRB
"The ruler in Israel will give them up, until the time
when she who is to give birth has borne,
And the rest of his brethren shall return
to the children of Israel.
He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock
by the strength of the Lord,
in the majestic name of the Lord, his God.
He shall be peace." Micha 5:2-4 NAB
Comments
Is Mary the mother of God an island blogger? Is this the kind of theological debate we are looking for? Is Micha a new prophet? Is his wife called Lynn?

Just found this; how tremendous to find the true meaning of this holy season of Christmas on the Net. Was it on for the whole octave?

Desetnuns? No thanks. I am also trying to cut down on franciscan friars too.

If you check the archives for December there are more Advent and Christmas posts. :-)

One could rapidly tyre of such things. A Franciscan Frier could always find an opening in Orkney.

So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
