A reflection for the new academic year
Sacred mystery, waiting at the threshold of this new year, you open the gates and beckon to me: “Come! Come!Be not wary of what awaits you as you enter the unknown terrain, be not doubtful of your ability to grow from its joys and sorrows. For I am with you.I will be your Guide.I will be your Protector.You will never be alone.” Guardian of this new year, I set aside my worries, concerns, I open my life to mystery, to beauty, to hospitality, to questions, to the endless opportunity of discovering you in my relationships, and to all the silent whispers of wonder that will draw me to your heart. I welcome your unfailing Presence and walk with hope into this new year.(Joyce Rupp)
