HOMILY IN SINHALA SOLEMNITY OF MARY THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD PRODUCED BY BRO PIUS OFM CAP

1ST JANUARY 2025, SOLEMNITY OF MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD HOMILY IN SINHALA YEAR C Mary the Mother of God Through Whom The World Would Be Blessed. First day of the New Year. We begin the year by remembering the one person who made our salvation possible with her “Yes” and by calling on her to intercede for us. “Pray for us who have recourse to you.” Today we also celebrate World Day of Peace. May peace reign in the hearts of all men. The Pope’s Message: “The Gospel of Jesus Christ, crucified and risen from the dead, a message of hope that fulfils the ancient promises, leads to glory and grounded in love, does not disappoint.” We are pilgrims of hope. This is the theme of the 2025 Jubilee. “The Jubilee has always been an event of great spiritual, ecclesial and social significance in the life of the Church.” PRODUCED BY BRO PIUS OFM CAP IN SINHALA
