Prayer on New Years Day

Lord God, Creator of all visible and invisible creatures, who created times and years, bless the New Year beginning today, which we count from Thy incarnation for our salvation.

Let us spend this year and many in it in peace and harmony with our neighbors; strengthen and preserve the Holy Catholic Church, which Thou has founded in Jerusalem, and sanctified by the saving sacrifice of Thy holy body and pure blood.

Exalt, preserve, and glorify our homeland; grant us longevity, health, abundance of earthly fruits, and good air; Thy sinful servant, and all my relatives and neighbors and all the good Christians, as our true Supreme Shepherd, guard, protect, and on the path of salvation, confirm that we, following it after a long and prosperous life in this world, reach Thy Heavenly Kingdom and receive eternal bliss with Thy saints. Amen.
