Prayer for the New Year

 
O Thou,
    who abidest in our hearts
    most Merciful and Compassionate God
    Lord of Heaven and earth.
We forgive others their trespasses
    and ask Thy forgiveness of our shortcomings.
We begin this New Year
    with pure heart and
    with clear conscience,
    with courage and hope.
Help us to fulfill the purpose of our lives
    under Thy Divine Guidance.

Amen
