As the glow of the Christmas season gently leads us into the dawn of a New Year and towards the light of the Epiphany, we are invited to reflect on the ways God manifests His presence in our lives. Like the Magi who followed the star, we are called to be vigilant for the signs of God’s guidance, even when the path is not immediately clear.
This January, we can look back with a mixture of gratitude for the good memories and an invitation to bring any regrets or hurts to God for healing. As we pray for blessings in 2026, let us resolve to live each day in a ‘God-conscious way’ and serve those in need, remembering that we are all part of one family under God.
May the lessons from the Holy Family inspire us to practice virtues of patience and charity in our homes, and may we continue our journey as pilgrims of hope, bringing joy and consolation to our world.
