Do you consider this night to be different? Difference in life is responding to grace and its actions. I have a suggestion of which I hope, if you see fit, that you take, tonight, what agrees with you. This world is full of difficulties and wounds. To turn it into spaces for what is good, I suggest four things to you. The first is that you choose a person in your household, and confess to him what beauty you see in him. Love is attention and encouragement. The second is that you choose a person from outside the household, whom you know that you had grieved in some way, and call him. Postponed grief is more difficult to resolve. The third is that you call someone whom you know is sad about something and show him that you stand by him. There is no well-being in life without closeness. Lastly, it is for each of you to give himself a few minutes to tell the Lord, individually, to be with him every day. Do not enter a new year offhandedly. Demonstrate your awareness that there is nothing new in life other than that which comes from God. I accompany this suggestion with my wish for each one of you that this night be an image for a different life.
