A NEW YEAR PRAYER
May God make your year a happy one! Not by shielding you from all sorrow and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy, but by making you sturdy to travel the path.
Not by taking hardships from you, but by taking fear from your heart.
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant, but by showing you when people and their Causes need you most and by making you willing to be there to help.
God's love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
Life is not a race, so take it slower
Hear the music before the song is over!!

THIS IS THE NEW YEAR
We will open the Book,
Its pages are blank.
We are going to put words on them ourselves.
The book is called Opportunity
And its first chapter starts on New Year's Day.
Fill the pages with positivity and achievement.
Learn to appreciate what you have, before time makes you appreciate what you had!!
LAST WORD: Fr. Brendan wishes all a Happy, Holy and Peaceful New Year.
