Prayer To Help Us Enter The New Year

 

Help Us Enter the New Year

God of all time, help us enter the New Year quietly,

thoughtful of who we are to ourselves and to others,

mindful that our steps make an impact

and our words carry power.

May we walk gently.

May we speak only after we have listened well.

Creator of all life,

help us enter the New Year reverently,

aware that you have endowed

every creature and plant, every person and habitat

with beauty and purpose.

May we regard the world with tenderness.

May we honor rather than destroy.

Lower of all souls,

help us enter the New Year joyfully,

willing to laugh and dance and dream,

remembering our many gifts with thanks

and looking forward to blessings yet to come.

May we welcome your lavish love.

In this new year, may the grace and peace of Christ bless us now and in the days ahead.

PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR

May the Lord make my New Year a happy one...




Not by shielding me from sorrow and pain, but by strengthening me to bear it if it comes.




Not by making my path easy, but by making me sturdy enough to tread any path.




Not by taking hardship from me, but by taking all cowardice and fear from my heart as I meet hardships.




Not by granting me unbroken sunshine, but by keeping my face bright even in the shadows.




Not by making my life always pleasant, but by showing me where men and His cause need me most and by making me zealous to be there and to help...



God, make my year a happy one.

Prayer for the New Year 2021

 

PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF MISSIO AD GENTES 2021

Lord God and our loving Father, you sent your Son into the world to preach the Good News of Salvation to all: to the sinners, the poor, the oppressed, the sick, to the abandoned and the rejected. He gave his life on the Cross for us, and rose to new life, to save and restore us to you. You send the Holy Spirit to the Apostles to continue the work of your Son and lead all in the way of salvation. We thank you, Father, for leading us from darkness to light. Through your loving plan, five hundred years ago, missionaries came to our country to preach the Gospel of Jesus, your Son, to our ancestors, making us your people and the Church. The gift of faith accompanies us through the darkness as well as the light, the failure and the victory in our history as your people. Our faith became a real light to us, shining in the midst of darkness. Renew in us the grace of your Spirit that inspires us to be witnesses of Jesus, your Son, to a world stricken by human greed, cruelty, injustice, pain and suffering. Our faith would have united us as your children to care for and love one another. May the Holy Spirit empower us, so that we may be evangelizers to our brothers here in Asia and in all nations. Give us the sincere desire to help others, so that they may believe in the Lord Jesus and so that they may share in your joy and life. Blessed Mother, and Star of Evangelization, may be with us and pray for us in our lives and share our faith with others. Our great love and devotion to her as our Beloved Mother, will shape us so that we can be true disciples and witnesses of Jesus to all, always ready to be sent, and always obedient to whatever ' Jesus will ask us. We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. AMEN.
