May Jesus Christ, the Lord of time and of eternity, be with you!
Today, we ring in another year. Was it a blessed year or a challenging one? Did we fulfill the goals we made for 2011, or did they slip away over time? Did we develop a deeper relationship with God, family and friends, or do we still have work to do? IN any case, we are here to say that we made it through another year!
Now we look to a new year. We pray that 2012 will be a blessed year filled with promise, joy and hope. And if unfortunate challenges come our way, we can turn to our Lord and Savior relying on His guidance and help.
On this day, we also celebrate an ancient feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God. We pray, through her intercession that she, too, will watch over us and remain present in our lives, as a devoted mother.
My prayer for us is that 2012 will be a blessed year for each of us. I pray we will continue to journey together united in faith, toward the eternal Kingdom of God.
