December 31 - St. Sylvester I, Pope

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man's decision but of God. And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth (John 1: 9-14).

Let us give thanks for all the many blessings and graces that God has helped us with during the year. We are one year closer to eternity. Let’s make this new year one of virtue and service.

Lord Jesus, I place in your hands this resolution. I want to grow in virtue this new year. Help me to stick to it and never give up. I love you, Jesus.
