A New Year Prayer For 2024
As we celebrate the first days of 2024 we remember the year past, the times of joy and happiness with family and friends. Also, we recall times of grief and pain which touched our lives: the passing of a loved one; the pain and endurance of poor health; the disruption to our lives by circumstances beyond our control.
Loving God, may the year to come be one where we will appreciate what at times can be taken for granted.
Loving God, may the year to come be one where we will appreciate what at times can be taken for granted.
Give us perseverance and resilience in our studies, good health and enjoyment in our sporting activities, an acceptance of our weaknesses, strength in our gifts and talents, vision and focus on the things that matter to us, and a determination to be kind and just to all whom we will meet.
Amen
Fr Alan Whelan MSC and Mrs Mary Benham
