News from the P.I.T. – Priest in Training
Another year, another New Year’s resolution! If you are like me, it’s usually about this time that I plan to be health-ier and holier; to be a better me. I’m going to eat fewer sweets, I’m going to work out, and I’m going to pray more. But if you are also like me, it’s common to fail or stop the resolution a week into the New Year! So what can we learn from this?
First, just by making a New Year’s resolution tells us that we are not yet the person we are supposed to be. We have yet to achieved perfection, which can only be found in union with God. And secondly, the failure to achieve our resolutions by our own power reveals that we can’t reach our goals by ourselves, we need God’s Grace!
It is no coincidence that the Church has us celebrating the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God on January 1st. Our Mother, Mary, is a great example for us to start the New Year. For her life is an example of how to achieve perfection in this life! It is done first by giving our life over to the Lord, to say yes to His will, and by allowing our life to be His instrument. So maybe our New Year’s Resolution shouldn’t be centered on what we want for this year, but maybe we should try to surrender ourselves to the Lord, listen to Him, and respond to His Grace in 2017!
Fr. Michael Kearney
Solemnity of Mary
The Holy Mother of God
This Solemnity reminds us that Mary is Mother of God, as she gave birth to Jesus, the Son of God and Prince of Peace. Mindful of this, let us renew our commitment as Good Stew-ards to foster peace in our homes, local communities and plac-es of work. If we truly want a more peaceful world, we must each do our part
Reflection
When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. - Lk 2:17-19
Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass ©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD.

VISITATION PARISH GROUPS
Women’s (CRHP) Weekend Jan. 28 – 29
I have experienced CRHP from both sides, as a participant in the renewal weekend and as a member of the “giving”

The blessing of sharing His sacred space with such wonderful ladies as part of this faith group is a joy that has nourished my soul in a really special way. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Mat-thew 7:7.
