Totus Tuus

Christmas moves us to the understanding that we are on a journey to Calvary.  We are not meant to stay as a child in the manger, but actively participate in the world.

Mary was not the redeemer, but she had to say, "Yes" to cooperate in redemption and so must we.  We must say, "Yes"  and move out from the birth place and go as Jesus leads us.

The world we are currently living in has a difficult time surrendering without knowing.  There is a need to know the outcome or at least predict with accuracy the end.

Then why such a tough time following our Lord's will?  We know the ending.  It may be  because it's not glorious.  Following Christ is painful and selfless.

I pray that this year we may make our New Year's resolution to live our entire life in service of others and join Mary as our model of Hope for a better world.

Say, "Yes" and watch the change.

Happy New Year 2015
