New Years Eve.
I do love this new year’s celebration.
Even though the church year starts at Advent.
The start of the calendar year is an important milestone. It is the year of Our Lord 2011. Another year which we dedicate to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
And to which we dedicate our work, effort and prayers to being servants and disciples of Christ.
To help (in any and many ways that God asks of us).. to establish God’s kingdom in the places we live and work and socialise.
As with Many … its not so much a time of revelry and late partying.. but rather a wonderful chance to quietly reflect on the year ending anf the new one beginning.
In this mass, dedicated to Mary the Mother of God, the first and most perfect disciple of Jesus…. We offer up our discipleship and prayers.. we offer up prayers for the year that is ending //… we offer up all the good we have done to god…. May God transform it for his purposes… and we offer up any mistakes and sins of the past year… may God forgive us and heal us….
For the new year.. beginning… we ask God to bless and make fruitful our words our actions and our work…. And help us live the witness to the good news…
May god bless us and keep us in love, faith, hope and health in this 2011 and beyond…
