When the Clock Strikes 12

A lot of life is lived between

11:59 on December 31 and

12:01 on January 1.

An entire year is burned in effigy.

Another holds every hope and promise.

So many possibilities.

Such a little bit of time.

But make the most of it,

This new year and all the next ones.

The new months and

The new days too.

Seek the Holy Spirit.

Live in Its light.

Bask in Its warmth.

Bathe in Its love.

Set the world on fire with your faith.

Heal the world with your forgiveness.

Lead the world with your mercy.

Feed the world with your love.

One minute can change anything and everything.
