Solemnity of Mary -- January 1 2024

Today's episode is for the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, which is always on January 1. Since this year, that falls on a Monday, and is the day after the Feast of the Holy Family, it is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation this year. Other years it is, so I am reading the Scriptures and Commentary. Personally, I think it's a good thing to start the year off right and go to Mass and Honor Our Blessed Mother and to Worship Jesus, and I hope many of you find the time and inclination to do so as well.
