Dear Friend of Mercy,

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. We trust in Mary and pray that we become more like her as we begin a new year. 

Heavenly Father,

You blessed the Virgin Mary with the fullness of grace. She is our model of faith, hope, and love. We give this new year to her intercession and ask for her holy prayers. Place our needs into the protection of her motherly love. With her help, we want our faith to grow. Give us an increase in the virtue of hope when troubles tempt us to despair. Guide us in understanding Your infinite love. And join our hearts, dear Lord, to the Holy Mother's Immaculate Heart, so that we may improve in loving everyone unconditionally, in imitation of our Savior, Jesus. 

Amen.

Have a Happy New Year and may 2024 bring you peace and joy!

In Mercy,

Dr. Cheryl Delaney Kreger '66 President
