Rebirth in Faith for the New Year

Lord, let me find the peace of the Christ-child in my heart each day and not just at Christmas. May the Blessed Mother serve as a model for the faith, courage and virtue that is possible in my life. I pray that the Holy Spirit guides me as I navigate the difficult choices I might encounter. Let the coming New Year be an opportunity for me to be reborn in faith, to walk more closely with you and to open myself up to your lessons.
