CHINESE NEW YEAR GREETINGS (FEB. 1ST)

 

 

By Bp. Joseph and SbDcn. Mercurius (Ancient Church of the West)

Happy Chinese New Year! Through Water and the Spirit, the Power of the Resurrection is Revealed, Our Hearts are Made New, and the Cross Shines in the Glory of the Resurrection - Death is Overcome in Our Master's Victory and made into a Pathway to Eternal Life! 

新年快乐！通过圣灵与施洗水我们就实现复活的能量，我们的心就变新，十字架就发出非造之光和重生的能量 - 基督的死亡的确打败了死亡，也让我们坟墓之门变成通天之道！我们现在不怕未来，因为上帝与我们同在。阿门！

As the year is about to begin anew for the men and women of Cathay, grant your people protection, Oh Lord. In this season of rejoicing and merrymaking, may Thy Spirit safeguard the hearts of the Christians. May the Son continually intercede on our behalf, and may the Father continue to delight in all of our works. For we know it is by Thy will that we are given this year to better ourselves and serve Thee again. This we pray, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.

主啊，华人新年即将来临。我们恳求祢庇护我们弟兄姐妹。让我们基督徒欢喜快乐的期间，心灵受保护。求圣子常常为我们祷告，愿圣父为我们的善工而喜悦。我们知道是因为祢的旨意新的一年让我们能每日精进服侍祢。我们这样祷告，是奉圣父、圣子，和圣灵的名，期初如此，现在如此，将来也是如此。阿门。
