In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from a letter by St Athanasius (295-373 A.D.). Athanasius was born in Alexandria. He assisted Bishop Alexander at the Council of Nicaea, and later succeeded him as bishop. He fought hard against Arianism all his life, undergoing many sufferings and spending a total of 17Â years in exile. He wrote outstanding works to explain and defend orthodoxy. For a reflection, "The Word took our nature from Mary," please click on the image. Peace be with you!
As we embark on a new year, let us resolve to live out our baptismal promises as Catholics. Let this be the year that all Catholics - faithful and fallen away - resolve to be a light in the darkness. Be not afraid! For my reflection, "A Catholic New Year Resolution," please click on the image. Peace be with you! Thomas, Disciple of Christ | Son of the Church
