Follow that star!
When we think of the month of January, we often feel let down
after the glitter and sparkle of the holidays. But before we can
completely put away the decorations, finish up the parties and
thank-you notes, resolve to drop a few pounds and settle into
snow-covered roads and cold and dark nights, the stars of the
season shine forth.
The January calendar reminds us of stars who have brightened the
horizons of our lives with curiosity and wisdom, with courage and
determination, with self-sacrifice and simplicity. Stars of hope
and warmth these cold January days are: Mary the Mother of
God, the Magi of Matthew's Gospel, St. John Neumann, St. Paul, St.
Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther King Jr. and St. Elizabeth Ann
Seton.
May the celebration of the Epiphany on Jan. 8 and all the Saints
of January give you reason for hope and happiness!
