As we end the present year to begin a new one, let us release any lingering fears, anxieties, grudges and regrets.
Let us, guided and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, forgive every person who we perceive, whatever their intent may have been, to have treated us badly — and forgive ourselves for any such acts toward others.
Let us, confident in the Holy Spirit's constant presence and guidance to all who seek it, greet the new year free of fear and fatigue from the past, and full of renewed hope and intention to do our best to bring peace and healing wherever we go.
