“Lord, open my heart to Your graces and blessings in this new year.
Lord, open my mind to new ideas, especially regarding justice and peace.
Lord, open my hands to welcoming new families and friends into my life.
Lord, open my whole being to the gentle nudgings of the Spirit calling me to prayer.
Lord, with my whole heart, mind, hands and being, let me sing Your praise!”
