Prayer at the Start of the Year

    Lord, sometimes I wonder where I am going and what the meaning of my life is.  I wonder especially what the new year holds for me.  Will it bring sorrow or joy; success or failure; joy or death?  But then, I remember that You came to earth; and that You still travel the road of life with me.  And so I say to my soul:  Go out into the darkness, and put your hand in the hand of Christ, your Brother, that will be better than a light, and safer than a known path.  Amen.

 

Message

    Thank you for your donations for the victims of the floods in the Philippines, earthquake victims in Niigata, street children in Manila and the AIDS children in Thailand.  Soon we will arrange a donation campaign for the victims of the great tsunami and earthquake off Indonesia.  Thank you again for your generosity.
