We join with you, the IIPT Family, to take this opportunity to express gratitude for the year that has passed and to consider the opportunities – both taken and not taken – to be a light shining brightly bringing joy, love and peace into the world and to reflect on the miracle of life itself and the beauty of all creation.
As we prepare to enter a new year, we rejoice in the abundant possibilities to be an instrument of joy, love and peace in the year ahead and with St. Francis we pray:
Where there is hatred – let me sow love
Where there is injury – pardon
Where there is discord – unity
Where there is doubt – faith
Where there is error – truth
Where there is despair – hope
Where there is sadness – joy
Where there is darkness -light
