This is the Celtic New Year Day liturgy from the Northumbria Community which I will be using in our house later today:
This day is a new day
that has never been before.
This year is a new year,
the opening door.
(Open the door – to welcome in Jesus and invite his blessing)
Enter, Lord Christ –
we have joy in your coming.
You have given us life;
and we welcome your coming.
I turn now to face you,
I lift up my eyes.
Be blessing my face, Lord;
be blesing my eyes.
May all my eye looks on
be blessed and be bright,
my neighbours, my loved ones
be blessed in your sight.
You have given us life
and we welcome your coming.
Be with us, Lord,
we have joy, we have joy.
This year is a new year,
the opening door.
Be with us, Lord,
we have joy, we have joy.
thanks for that, if i’d seen it earlier I probably would have given it a go at our place :)Happy New Year!
