I wish everyone a very Happy New Year and pray that through the coming year you will enjoy good health, joy, and prosperity.

To those of you who plan to be away from home this evening—traveling to spend New Year's Day with friends or relatives or going out this evening to attend New Year's celebrations—I pray that your travel will be safe and without incident.

To those of you who plan to stay home this evening, I pray that your evening is joyous.
