A PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR
“Lord, grant me a joyful heart and a holy sense of humor.
Please give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with
others each day.
Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret,
nor to the future with apprehension.
Let love be my aim and my life a prayer.” Amen.
