As we come to the last day of the year, we will be reminiscing on how the year 2025 has been for us.
There are happy and sad moments, we made some new friends and we also said goodbye to some friends, there were some good memories as well as some experiences that we are still trying to understand.
Whatever it might be, the year will pass on as the times of our lives.
But it was not just times and moments and experiences that we have gathered for the year.
It is also a time to think about how God was present in our lives throughout the year.
The 1st reading reminds us that we have been anointed by the Holy One and we have received blessings from God.
These blessings enlighten us on how God has come into our lives at every moment so that we can live in truth and love.
The gospel brings us back to the beginnings of our faith.
We believe that the Word was with God and the Word was God.
As we prepare to welcome the new year, let us also welcome Jesus, the Word of God made flesh and dwells with us.
With Jesus, may the moments of this year be enlightening moments about how we should live our lives in truth and love.
With Jesus, may the moments of the new year be moments of God’s grace and blessings.
