“Tidakkah kamu sanggup berjaga-jaga satu jam dengan Aku? Berjaga-jagalah dan berdoalah, supaya kamu jangan jatuh ke dalam pencobaan: roh memang penurut, tetapi daging lemah.” (Mat 26 : 40 -41). Read More

O God of new beginnings and wonderful surprises,
Thank you for the gift of a new year.
May it be a time of grace for me,
A time to grow in faith and love,
A time to renew my commitment
to following Your Son, Jesus
May it be a year of blessing for me,
A time to cherish my family and friends,
A time to renew my efforts at work,
A time to embrace my faith more fully.
Walk with me, please,
in every day and every hour of this new year,
That light of Christ might shine through me,
In spite of my weaknesses and fallings.
Above all,
may I remember this year
that I am a pilgrim on the sacred path to you.
Amen.
