15

Jesus, grant me the grace
There is a huge difference between knowing about Jesus and meeting him. Baptized as children perhaps, or as adults responding to God’s gift of faith, we have learned about Jesus.

Jan
Lord, may we see Your power at work in our lives
The reading from the Acts of the Apostles reveals the power of God in the early Church. The power of God continues to work in our lives and around us. Let us not forget this as we go about our work and daily activities.

Jan
Lord, help me to be faithful to you in all things

Jan
Lord, I trust in Your love
Today the first Letter of John reminds us that it is God who has loved us first. God sent his Son to us in love to save us from our sins and lead us to be with God forever.
04
Jan
Lord, help us to know the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our daily life
In today’s Gospel reading, we see Jesus moving to Galilee and settling in Capernaum to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah. It is here that Jesus began His mission.
03
Jan
Lord, may I always seek Your light
It is certainly true that night still covers the earth and darkness the peoples. We need only to look around at the violence, injustice, and suffering, and greed in our world for evidence.
02
Jan
Grant that we will always remain constant in our love for you
Father in heaven, by the gift of the Holy Spirit grant that we will always remain constant in our love for you and for each other.

The things that this life can bring us should never distract us or pull us away from our relationship with God. Doing the will of God should be our greatest joy rather than a burdensome cross.
