Here's a thought for your New Year. I wish I could say it's my thought but it's actually a thought of Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen OCD:
We have only the short day of this early life to grow in love and if we wish to derive from it the greatest possible benefit we must apply ourselves not only to doing good works, but to doing them with our whole heart, and with all the generosity of which we are capable, overcoming the inertia and pettiness which always make us inclined to the least effort.
Then love will grow immeasurably and we shall be able to give the Lord the beautiful witness of St Therese:
“Your love ... has grown with me and now it is an abyss, the depths of which I cannot fathom”.
