As we begin and end our day with prayer, it is also right that we should begin and end the year with prayer, specifically with the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Unfortunately, New Year's eve is celebrated with many pagan superstitions. Fireworks are lighted to drive away evils spirits. People engage in many practices to ensure good luck for the coming year. These customs are useless. Evil spirits are not afaid of fire works. False gods cannot deliver their promises because "they have eyes but see not, they have ears but hear not, they have nostrils but do not have life in them."

What better way for Christians to meet the New Year than by spending the night in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament! We thank the Blessed Trinity for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us in this year that is about to pass. We entrust to the Blessed Trinity the year that is to come. In the hands of the Blessed Trinity, we will always be safe and secure.

CHRIST YESTERDAY AND TODAY, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, ALPHA AND OMEGA. ALL TIME BELONGS TO HIM AND ALL AGES, TO HIM BE GLORY AND POWER THROUGH EVERY AGE FOR EVER. AMEN.
