Episode 040 - Homily | Why Mary’s Bold Title Protects The Heart Of Christian Faith (January 1, 2026)

We pause at the start of the year to honor Mary as Mother of God and to guard the truth about Christ. We invite listeners to a concrete resolution—pray the rosary daily—and to let grace, not willpower, shape the year ahead.

• why the title Mother of God safeguards Jesus’ divinity
• Mary’s role from Nazareth, Cana, and Calvary into the Church
• motherhood in the order of grace and real intercession
• grace over self-improvement as the path to change
• concrete practices: prayer, fasting, repentance, obedience, trust
• daily rosary as formation that shapes disciples
• entrusting family, fears, and hopes to Mary
• saying yes to God as the key to 2026

Pray the rosary daily. Daily. Place yourself in her care, entrust your family, your fears, your hopes, and say: Yes, Lord.
