Happy New Year 2026

St. Bernadette Mission — Sunday Reflection

Happy New Year 2026!

 

As we step into this new year, let us pause with grateful hearts to thank God for the wonderful year 2025. It was truly a year of excellence, filled with victories and challenges, highs and lows, lessons and growth. Through it all, God remained faithful.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1

In 2025, we experienced moments of joy that lifted our spirits and moments of difficulty that strengthened our faith. Every season had a purpose, and every step was guided by God’s hand.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” — Romans 8:28

Entering 2026 with Renewed Hearts

As we welcome 2026, let us choose to let go of the past—forgetting all the hurt, misunderstandings and bad experiences we may have faced with friends and relatives. Let us begin a new chapter with forgiving hearts, guided by the love and humility of the Child Jesus.

May His innocence renew our relationships, and may His peace inspire us to spread love, kindness and reconciliation to everyone around us.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” — Isaiah 43:18–19

A Blessing for the Year Ahead

As we move forward, let us embrace this new year 2026 with hope, confidence, and renewed trust in God’s promises.

May the Lord bless and keep you, grant you peace and lead you into a year filled with purpose, progress, and grace.

May God’s favour surrounds you and your loved ones throughout the year and may the peace of Jesus shine through us to the world.
