When the appointed time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the Law and to enable us to be adopted as sons.
Gal.4:4,5
Today, the first day of 2025, is a time to reflect on timing. Today only gets its significance when referenced to the date of our Saviour's birth. The year of our Lord 2025.
God's timing is perfect. When I consider what Christendom has achieved in the last two thousand years (hospitals, education, science, philosophy, civilisation) I'm grateful for what has benefited me.
But wait (as the kitchen knife advert. says), there's more! I'm adopted as a son of God and I'm the son of two thousand years of adopted sons. How wonderful. And, I have a role to play in raising the next generation of adopted sons (and daughters). 2025 is promising to be a full and fulfilling year. Happy New Year!
Mary, Mother of God, please pray for us.
