John Morton provided this blessings for the New Year on January 1st, 2012:
Dear Lord,
We give thanks for the opportunity to come before You
as those who fully embrace all that You are.
We know there is a beginning that is Your acceptance,
that You have issued Your creation in acceptance of all.
If You allow it, it is part of the perfection.
So we have put aside our differences, whatever conflicts we have been holding.
We now ask that this resolution with Your blessing
deepen to the very core of our being, so that whatever is our choice,
we choose back freely, openly, and completely.
We choose to celebrate Your creation, to rejoice another day, another year before us.
We rejoice in this lifetime, that we do this for ourselves,
as is the responsibility to love and take care of ourself.
We also are resolved to do this for others, and, yea, for all of Your creation.
We stand before You in the spirit, radiating this love that You are.
This blessing goes to all of Your creation.
We are integrated with Your loving and the truth of Your loving,
that we proclaim clearly and fully, with all of our strength.
We do love You as has been the commandment that has come forward through the ages.
We discover we have always been loved, that we are never forsaken.
So all judgment is dissolving from our eyes, from our inner holding.
The solution is what we are immersed in in this moment.
This peace is full. This love is full. This joy is full, this day.
We claim ourselves as those who go forward in Your love, in Your light, in celebration.
When we come upon ourselves, in any way forgetting
that we are divine and looking upon the distortion,
seeing in darkness and negativity,
we ask that You may have mercy on our souls as You always have.
We are awake in Your love,
full in our awareness and consciousness of Your love.
This is our truth that goes forth to all from us.
In our vision, we can behold a world of celebration.
We can let ourself see that we are children of God in Your kingdom,
rejoicing and knowing Your will is done always and forever more.
Baruch Bashan
