Blessing for the New Year

May you begin with the Word,
Christ with you, Christ before you, Christ behind you.
May you celebrate, rest, and delight in 
Christ in you, Christ beneath you, Christ above you.
May you reorder your days around
Christ on your right, Christ on your left.
May God give you vision for new habits and practices:
Christ when you lie down, Christ when you sit down, Christ when you arise.
May you bestow passionate grace upon
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of you.
May you listen attentively to 
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of you.
May you be a light for 
Christ in every eye that sees you.
May God compel you towards loving 
Christ in every ear that hears you.
