Year 2013 will be here


Today is the last day of the year 2012 and the link to the new year that is unfolding in less than a day, as year 2013 will be here soon. There is no stopping as it will arrive as planned.

Looking back, the year has been a mixed of everything - Good and bad, from happiness to loneliness, excitement at times, devastation during certain circumstances, experiencing joy in a profound way and love that is within each heart who acknowledge that love still exists in a world covered with pain. This year may become our mirror to ask oneself what is missing in this existence?  Why we have witnessed violence in so many ways and is disheartening to everyone.  


It is about time we surrender it all to God. As the year ends, we offer it in the altar and start anew. Let us remember that we survived this year through it all. It is a blessing.

Start the new year with a new anticipation. New ME - a new faith that is burning with love for God, a new mind that is focus on knowing, serving and loving God, a new soul that is living a life in accordance to God's ways and everything will fall in the right palce.

Mother Mary will always be looking down on us, cradle us when we are afraid, and strengthen us with Her love when we falter. She never fails to encourage anyone who wish to get closer to Her Son, Jesus.

Prayer of the day

Bestow upon me, O Jesus, that interior peace, which is full of hope and renders us of Your grace during this joyous season while Mother Mary remind us to be faithful in corresponding with your wonderful love for us. May that peace whose companions are the spirit of poverty while you lay in a manger, humility of heart from recognizing Your will and freedom from all earthly attachments increase our faith as we welcome the new year that is unfolding in a few days. Grant that my passions be subject to reason, my reason to faith and I to God. Amen.

Peace


Twelve days more before Christmas and on the first day of Christmas, I wish you



Peace to everyone who are in search of peace, especially those who are longing for it.
Peace in our hearts, wounded hearts and beating with life.
Peace in our family, complete and divided members by any reason.
Peace in our relationships, friendship gone sour and treasured ones.
Peace in our workplace, whether it is a lot of hard work or enjoying the work.
Peace in our neighborhood, good and terrible .
Peace in our community, the big along with small ones.
Peace in our country, develop and underdeveloped land.
Peace in the whole world, wrapping the whole universe with peace.
Peace everywhere which came from a child's heart who was born on Christmas day through Mary, the queen of peace.

God gave us peace, it is up to us to receive it or discard it. Blessed are those who are seeking peace, may you find it in the least unexpected places and moment. God bless you!
