I know that many of you choose a word for the new year. A word to colour the days, to help you keep focus. I have never done that, but as I sit here today, on the first day of 2016, I know that there is something I hope to give focus in my life the year to come. There is a path I want to walk. A path which will take me through good days, and bad. Trough joy and tankfulness, through sorrows and all the "whys" in our lives. I just saw on facebook that Amnesty has set the word "act" as a headline of 2016 - let us act together for a better world, for justice and peace. I could adapt that word, but I am not. I could choose joy, peace, justice....... Many Norwegian choose godhetstyrann for 2016, "godness tyrant", refering to one of our blue ministers who accuse many Norwegians of being good in a kind of false way (this came up in a discussion about refugees) I want to be a godhetstyrann, I hope that I already am one. But it is not my 2016 word.
My word for 2016 is bønn, prayer.
Inspired by the nuns at Turvey Abbey, and all other nuns and monks in the world, I want bønn to colour my way through the new year.
The world need bønn. Let is join hands and pray.
