As 2017 begins, we face the New Year with trust in our God who continues to bless us and call us to bring hope and peace to all we meet. May we greet each new day of the coming year as a gift and recognise the fresh possibilities being offered within and around us for heartfelt and courageous compassion.
May we have wisdom to give thanks for the past, to trust the future to God’s care and to truly live in the present moment, celebrating each day as a gift to be shared so that hope may spring forth for our planet, our world and all people.
