各位教友： 臨近聖誕，每個人都忙個不亦樂乎。一方面要在假期前把一切準備就緒；另一方面，亦忙策劃假期旅遊路線和活動。 在這繁忙的時節中，突然驚覺這已是2009年的最後一篇文章。有時難免文思閉塞，無法落筆。但感謝主，我始終也應付過來，可以跟大家分享你們或會感興趣的意見､故事和訊息。在此，我要多謝大家在文章發表後所給予的回應､意見和電郵。 這既是2009年的最後一篇文章，我希望留給大家一篇年終禱文。這禱文在電郵中傳閱，作者不詳。這禱文幫助我們認清我們的主是時間的主宰，我們應當滿懷感激之情，感謝上主在不同人生時段的施予。正藉年終，我們應檢視過去，並再次呈獻自己給上主，讓天主繼續賜予無限恩寵和救助。順帶一提，元旦日也是「天主之母」節日，教友應參與彌撒，時間改在早上十時正。

Dear Parishioners: The time of Christmas is a busy time of the year for everybody, one side of us is rushing to get things done before the holidays and the other side is just planning what to do or where to go during these days off. With all things happening around this time of the year, I suddenly realized this is the last article for 2009, even when sometimes it has been hard for me to get inspiration about what to write in this little space, thanks God, I think I have managed to share with you some ideas, stories and messages I consider to be of interest for you. I want to thank you all for your feedback, suggestions and e-mails that have come when you read these little messages. As this is the last article for 2009, I think I want to leave you with a prayer to do at the end of the year; this prayer came to me in one of the e-mails that come in this time of the year. I do not know who the author is but I hope this prayer helps you to remember that our God is the Lord of time and we should be grateful for what he gives us at different moments of our lives. At the end of the year we review our life and we present ourselves to Him so we can keep receiving his graces and his help. A little note is that Mass will be said on the First of January, the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God, at 10:00 in the morning, that is the only mass for the day.
