We Pray

God of all time, Source of all life,

From the rising of the sun to its setting we give you praise.

As 2024 closes its eyes we send you a heartfelt Thank You

For the wonder of the seasons in colour, sound and rhythm

We give you thanks

For your presence with us in sorrow and in pain, in war and in peace

We give you thanks.

For the light of the star in the darkest night freeing us from fear and despair

We give you thanks

For the people who walked with us through the days and through the year

Loving us, carrying us, forgiving us

We give you thanks

For the people we were able to help with kindness, attention and presence

Sharing joy and pain

We give you thanks

For the valuable lessons of this year calling us back to the universal communion, to the bond of connection

We give you thanks

For the deeper global vision emerging from the blindness and madness of war

We give you thanks

For you, our God, our Forever Friend, the heartbeat of our lives

We give you thanks

We stand before the calendar of 2025 with abiding trust in your divine providence, in mutual partnership and love.              

O Praise God!
