Father Tabb Centenary Year Begins

The priest-poet John Banister Tabb died one hundred years ago this year, November 19, 1909. To mark the anniversary, I will be blogging a selection of Father Tabb's poetry on Sundays and on special occasions throughout the year.

New Year's Day 2009

O God of new beginnings and wonderful surprises, thank you for the gift of a new year. May it be a time of grace for me, a time to grow in faith and love, a time to renew my commitment to following Your Son, Jesus. May it be a year of blessing for me, a time to cherish my family and friends, a time to renew my efforts at work, a time to embrace my faith more fully. Walk with me, please, in every day and every hour of this new year, that the light of Christ might shine through me, in spite of my weaknesses and failings. Above all, may I remember this year that I am a pilgrim on the sacred path to You.

Amen.

(Prayer for the New Year)
