Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin January 1, 2023
“And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” LUKE 2:19 After Jesus, we look to Mary as an ideal steward. Her entire life was lived in obedience to God’s call. She heard God’s message, and immediately said “yes.” Mary teaches us to live with joy and gratitude for the many blessings God has given us. Just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, Mary reflects the light of Christ. Like Mary, we are called to reflect Christ’s light to the world. We do this through lives of gratitude and generosity.

Do Something Beautiful for God – The Essential Teachings of Mother TeresaDecember 30 – The first requirement of prayer is silence. People of prayer are people of silence.December 31 – Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.January 1 – Live simply so others may simply live.January 2 – Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.January 3 – There are no great things, only small things with great love. But those small things done with great love become the source of great joy. I don’t do great things. I do small things with great love.January 4 – We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature-trees, flowers, grass, -grow in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence…We need silence to be able to touch souls.January 5 – Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.
