End of the Year and Beginning of 2010
At the Office of Compline, after the final Salve Regina of the Old Year, we sang the Te Deum in thanksgiving.
Abbot Mark concluded with the appropriate prayer.
God, Our Father,
we thank you for the gifts and graces you have given us in this year just ending.
We ask pardon for our failings and negligences during it.
As we celebrate your new coming on earth at Christmas
may it raise us up to a better and fuller life in you.
And may this coming new year be one of much grace, peace and joy
for us and for all our families and friends
to the glory of your name.
We ask this through Christ, Our Lord
Amen.
