Faithful Companion, in this New Year we pray. .
•To live deeply, with purpose,
To live freely, with detachment,
•To live wisely, with humility,
To live justly, with compassion,
•To live lovingly, with fidelity,
To live mindfully, with awareness,
•To live gratefully, with generosity,
And to live fully, with enthusiasm.
•Sacred Mystery, waiting on the threshold of this new year,
You open the gates and beckon to us.
•“Come! Be not wary of what awaits you
as you enter the unknown terrain,
Be not doubtful of your ability to grow from its joys and sorrows.
•I am with you. I will be your Guide.
I will be your Protector. You will never be alone.”
Guardian of this New Year, we set aside our fears, worries, concerns.
We open our lives to mystery, to beauty, to hospitality, to questions, to the endless opportunity of discovering the Holy One in our relationships, and to all the silent wisps of wonder that will draw us to Your heart, O God.
•We welcome Your unfailing Presence and walk with hope into this New Year!
(Paraphrased from Joyce Rupp)
