first day in Ordinary Time 2015

Although today sees the beginning of Ordinary Time, and Christmas trees came down after Epiphany, the close of the Christmas season is actually not until Candlemas (Feast of the Presentation) on February 2nd. I find this a lovely excuse to continue posting images of the Christ Child throughout January:-)

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT  OF MARY 
Jesus, my sweet Lamb,         
that my heart might be your cradle. 

I hold Him and will not let Him go.
