God, thank you for a new year.
May everyone in our family be willing
to begin anew with a clean slate.
We know that you are always ready to forgive us.
Help us to be willing to forgive ourselves
and to forgive one another.
As we begin a new year,
remind us of our truest values
and our deepest desires.
remind us of our truest values
and our deepest desires.
Help us to live in the goodness
that comes from doing
what you want us to do.
that comes from doing
what you want us to do.
Help us to put aside anxiety
about the future and the past,
so that we might live in peace
with you now, one day at a time.
with you now, one day at a time.
(From Loyola Press, a Jesuit Ministry's New Year's Prayer)
