On New Year’s Day, we celebrate three profound realities: the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God; the Octave Day of Christmas; and the beginning of a New Year. Fr. Martin reflects on how these three celebrations invite us into three simple but powerful spiritual resolutions for 2026: renewing our devotion to Mary through the Rosary, drawing closer to Jesus through Eucharistic Adoration, and taking a step of faith by participating in—or inviting someone to—Alpha. This homily offers a hopeful and practical way to begin the New Year rooted in prayer, presence, and mission.
