Gospel Passage
Luke 2:16 So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the
child lying in the manger. 17 When they saw this, they made known what
had been told them about this child; 18 and all who heard it were amazed at
what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured all these words and
pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. 21
After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was
called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the
womb.
Questions for discussion -
1. Today is more than New Year’s Day. It is the feast day of Mary as Mother of
God and Queen of Peace. Mary not only was Jesus’ mother but is our mother
too. Are you a good son or daughter to Mary?
2. Do you ever ask your mother for help? Do you ever ask Mary for help? How
do you think Mary would help you?
3. Why do you think Mary is called “Queen of Peace?” How can we help God
bring peace to the world?
