Today is New Year's day! The traditions
of New Year's Day are many. Most can be considered pure superstition,
but the idea that you should keep in good spirits and have hope for
the future just it isn't something that should be abandoned as
nonsense. As the famous Catholic
Bishop, Óscar Romero once said, “Hope is not
resignation; it is a commitment to continue to struggle.”
On this, the first day of the Gregorian
calendar, we should take time to train ourselves to not let minor
problems in life overwhelm us. We should take note of the things that
give us hope, and why hope itself is so important to us. And we can
treat it as a fresh start, clearing our minds as much as possible,
readying ourselves for the future. Doing all of these things once a
year isn't nearly enough, but New Year's Day is the perfect time for
us to do it all together!
