Happy New Year from the Carmelites of Australia & Timor-Leste!
On New Year's Day we also celebrate the Solemnity of Mary. Mother of God.
So, we begin the new year with Mary.
May she accompany us throughout the year with wisdom and love
on our journey into God's heart.
May the new year be filled with an ever-deeper awareness of God's presence
around us and in us.
We continue to pray for all those affected by war and conflict throughout the world.
May we work for peace and for respect of all peoples.
