A Happy New Year!


This is a entry transplanted from one of my blogs on a Japanese server, which cannot show side bar menus correctly in English.
The original casting date is January 3rd, 2006:
------------------------------------------------

The January 1st is, of course, a new year's day, but also a Catholic holiday celebrating "Mary, Mother of God", too.Today's first reading in the mass was from "NUMBERS 6:22-27" (Old Testament).

This passage tells the way of the new year blessing of the Israelites by the Lord through their priests.
I like it so much and want to share it with all of you readers:

The Lord bless you and keep you!
The Lord let his face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you!

... The peace of God spread into every corner of the world, and a happy new year to you all!
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!
