8th Day of Christmas 
Today our eight maids a milking are used to remind us of the

Blessed are the peacemakers ... today is also the Day of World Peace and Pope Francis sends us the following message Day of World Peace 
We Christians believe that in the Church we are all members of a single body, all mutually necessary, because each has been given a grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ, for the common good (cf. Eph 4:7,25; 1 Cor 12:7). Christ has come to the world so as to bring us divine grace, that is, the possibility of sharing in his life. 
Christmas Video
To celebrate the Feast of Mary the Mother of God, we post a video which gives 50 reasons from 50 teenagers about why they pray to Mary, the Mother of God

 After watching - why not discuss as a family which reasons you agree with.
