Ancient Blessing for New Year

Today we spend time wishing each other the best for the new calendar year, 2010. The Roman Catholic Lectionary chooses the priestly benediction that God gave Moses to be ministered by Aaron.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Paul’s Letter to the Galatians reminds us that the Promise of kinship with the Divine is fulfilled by the indwelling Spirit of the Son in our hearts. Luke’s Gospel relates the naming of Jesus with a name which has been His for eternity. Our eternal name or our eternal nature is also to be found in our relationship with the Divine
