Happy New Year

Pacem in Terris

Pope John XXIII, 4/11/63

"May He banish from the hearts of all men and women whatever might endanger peace.

May He transform them into witnesses of truth, justice and love.

May He enkindle the rulers of peoples so that in addition to their solicitude for the proper welfare of their citizens, they may guarantee and defend the great gift of peace.

May He enkindle the wills of all so that they may overcome the barriers that divide, cherish the bonds of mutual charity, understand others, and pardon those who have done them wrong.

May all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters, and may the most longed-for peace blossom forth and reign always among men and women."

May the 2007 brings us nothing but peace and prosperity although i'm starting to feel awkward everytime i wish something like that..
yesterday when i was watching the amazing fireworks i just realised how long has it been since we had some happy moments nationwide and how long will it takes us to get to enjoy them oncemore..

Happy New 2007!!
