A Prayer for the New Year!

Today is the last day of 2016, 2016 has been a year of ups and downs, we have grown stronger, we had to face tragedies, but it was also a year of  new beginnings, of adventures and love. Tomorrow begins the New year, 2017, a chance to begin anew and also it is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. Let us ask the Virgin mary to guide us during the New Year!

The best advice for the New Year is a quote from Ralph Walter Emerson:  "Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year."

May the New Year bring to you Warmth of love and a light to guide your path towards a positive destination. Happy New year! 

"New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change."

Sarah Ban Breathnach

As The New Year Begins, let us pray, that it will be a year with new peace, new happiness, and abundance of new friends. God bless you throughout the New Year! Happy New Year! 

A New Year's Day Prayer!

Lord, You make all things new

You bring hope alive in our hearts 

And cause our Spirits to be born again.

Thank you for this new year

For all the potential it holds.

Come and kindle in us 

A mighty flame

So that in our time, many will see the wonders of God

And live forever to praise Your glorious name

Amen.

Also, a Prayer to Our Lady:

Hail, Mary, Mother of God, venerable treasure of the whole universe, lamp that is never extinguished, crown of virginity, support of the true faith, indestructible temple, dwelling of him whom no place can contain, O Mother and Virgin! Through you all the holy Gospels call blessed the one whom comes in the name of the Lord. 
Hail, Mother of God. You enclosed under your heart the infinite God whom no space can contain. Through you the Most Holy Trinity is adored and glorified, the priceless cross is venerated throughout the universe. Through you the heavens rejoice, and the angels and archangels are filled with gladness. Through you the demons are banished, and the tempter fell from heaven. Through you the fallen human race is admitted to heaven. 

Hail, Mother of God. Through you kings rule, and the only-begotten Son of God has become a star of light to those who were sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death. 

Amen.

Ta, Ta for now!
