While I'm loath to say goodbye to any year, as each is to be cherished on its own, 2015 was particularly difficult and I'm ready for a new number to write on checks. So, here's to 2016.
It's also the Feast of the Holy Name, too:
Eternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
