Believe, so that this will be a year of faith. I will be with you guiding you with my words. When I give you promises, believe. When I give you directions, obey . When I teach you, remember. Natural light will not suffice. Supernatural light must show you the path. Now, let us begin a new year with a promise.

I will be closer to you than ever before. You will know that your love for me has never been greater. All of this is a gift, poured out right now before this year unfolds.

Walk into this year with faith. Do not look at your material blessings and think, “I am secure. Nothing is at risk. The year will be filled with abundance”. Rather, say, “I have Mary with me. She will accompany me. She will never leave my side. She will show me where to walk and what to avoid. I am safe in her arms”. This must be the theme of this year, which holds so many surprises, in which what seems powerful crumbles and what seems weak grows strong in faith. The new year is upon us. We have no choice except to let it unfold.
