"One year passes, another comes and opens before us 365 days of opportunities and a new opportunity to make possible the future, that this year passes with the ambient depression that permeated our hearts, all the beaten paths, the nightmarish mazes and all the wanderings... I join you in this singular moment to experience the novelty of this time and the feeling of eternity reflected in our ablutions and our pious cogitations. I wish you, on this festive and reflexive occasion, to enjoy a 2019 year irradiated with blessing, garlanded by the fingers of God. Stand up and walk ! Have a good and successful year 2019 in prosperity, joy, health and peace."
