Matthew 3:3-17
LET US PRAY,
Holy Spirit descend on us and fill us with the glory of the Lord. Allow us to embrace fully the depth of love given to us and to express that love to others.
The core of our faith is written in today’s readings (Acts: 10:34-43) – everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. We rejoice that this is the cornerstone that we build our faith on: that we are so loved that our mistakes are erased, our stumbles up-righted and our doubt clarified.
We ask that we do not take this knowledge and keep it hidden but encourage us to seek out those who are yet to know of God’s grace and to share it. Encourage us to be bold in our faith, to continue to seek out growth in our relationship with you and to reflect daily on the many blessings you provide. M ay the love that is so freely given be the cornerstone of all our days guiding us to do be your light in the darkness – to shine brightly in the world – and to illuminate the path to your embrace.
And all God’s children say …
