New Year’s Prayer
As the dawn breaks on a new year, let us give thanks for all we hold dear: our health, our family & our friends.
Let us release our grudges, our anger & our pains, for those are nothing but binding chains. Let us live each day in the most loving ways, the God conscious way. Let us serve all who are in need, regardless of race, colour, or creed.
Let us keep God of our own understanding in our hearts & to chant God’s name each day. Led us lead the world from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth & from wrong to right.
Let us remember that we are all one, embracing all, discriminating against none.
May your year be filled with peace, prosperity & love.
May God’s blessing shower upon you & bestow upon each of you a bright, healthy & peaceful new year.
ADORATION Monday’s 10am-12pm & 7pm-8pm & Friday 7pm to 8pm.
