Each day we ought to renew our resolutions and arouse ourselves to fervor as though it were the first day of our religious life. We ought to say: “Help me, O Lord God, in my good resolution and in Your holy service. Grant me now, this very day, to begin perfectly, for thus far I have done nothing.
–Thomas à Kempis
I thought this would be a good quote to begin this year with.
And as today begins a New Year, I believe this is a great day for us to begin praying this prayer!
