New Year

A blessed Eighth Day to you!

A feast of Mary the God-bearer,
the day of circumcision for Christ,
the day of peace for our world.

Let's remember in a particular way
the plight of the Christians in the
mid-east who suffer under the yoke
of fear.

Especially today our Coptic brothers
and sisters in Christ who suffered
violence.

Lamb of God, grant us peace.

  1. The image by Rubens is so intimate!

    Michiel van Coxcie's Circumcision is just as intimate, but for a different reason.
