Pedenn evit ur bloaz nevez

PRAYER FOR A NEW YEAR

 

Lord! Father of the Universe

And Father of all Creatures

Spirit and Matter

Today hear if she asks

The least of your children

Who loves you from the depths of her heart

Her happiness to live forever...

Before you like a child before his father

With neither pain nor suspicion

I start a new Year

In the beginning of the springtime.

What will be? I am in your hands.

Respectful?... Yes. Obedient? Hardly...

But may Your Will be done

And may a morsel of wisdom descend on my old age

So that my time will not be empty or vain

Give me Love and Enlightenment

Sufficient to share with others who

Stumble and grope on the Way

That Way so narrow that leads to Eternity...

 

Amen.
