  2. January 1, 2012– SOLEMNITY OF MARY, THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD A Message from the Pastor Dear Parishioners, Since 1968, the Church has observed World Day of Peace on the first day of each new year. All of the popes since then have proclaimed messages calling for world peace. This year, Pope Benedict XVI asks the world to do a proper job of educating young people in the ways of justice and peace. The pope recognizes in the young an idealism that is ready to correct the ills of our world in order to establish a world of justice and peace. He then wishes for society to educate the young in these concepts, so that the young, being properly formed, can help make our world a better place in which to live. The Holy Father says that educating the young in the concepts of justice and peace requires a collaborative effort among parents, educational institutions, political leaders, the media, and even the youth themselves. The parents should begin the lessons at home; educational institutions should assist parents and respect people’s religious freedom; political leaders should make education accessible and give an example of public service that is geared toward serving one’s neighbor; the media should promote decency in communication, since communication shapes the way in which people think and feel; and the young themselves should live up to the ideals they have for others and make good use of their freedom. There are many other gems to be found in the Holy Father’s message for 2012. You can find them all at http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/messages/peace/documents/hf_ben-xvi_mes_20111208_xlv-world-day-peace_en.html. May Our Lady, whose feast day we celebrate today, help us to achieve peace in our world with her heavenly aid, and may we, who are sinners, have recourse to her, especially by praying her Rosary. On behalf of the Friars and Staff of Holy Rosary, I wish you and yours a New Year filled with God’s love, peace, and joy. Fr. Ian PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK: Gloria Guerreo, John Gaughan, Gloria Kirk, Dominic Dybala, and Mary Ellen Rexer. REQUIESCANT IN PACE: Please remember in your prayers Hobby Van Zandt, a longtime friend of the parish, and Louis Tankus, a parishioner, both of whom recently died. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. SUNDAY COFFEE has been suspended until January 8, 2012.
