TODAY’S WORD…

.

For the grace of God has appeared,

bringing salvation to all,

training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions,

and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled,

upright,

and godly.

.

– Titus 2:11-12 (NRSV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

God is the source of grace,

which encourages and leads us to live good Christian lives.

That grace has salvation as its goal,

and it is given to us through Jesus Christ.

.

Divine grace as manifested in the Incarnation,

is actively at work to redeem us;

it brings salvation;

it sanctifies us, enabling us to live godly lives;

and it is the basis of our hope in the second coming of the Lord.

.

Jesus is our model;

by means of grace He instructs us

on how to control our defects,

grow in virtue,

and He inwardly moves us to seek holiness.

.

PRAYER…

.

Lord Jesus, God and Redeemer,

my Saviour, Teacher,

Deliverer, King,

I give You praise.
.

I give You thanks, O Lord,

for Your saving grace

and for showing me the way,

through Your own noble example

of unconditional love and sacrifice.

.

Grant, dear Jesus,

that I will always acknowledge You as my Lord,

as the Way, the Truth and the Life,

and that I will never stop looking at You in full faith and trust

as my Mentor,

my Friend,

my Hope

and my Joy.

.

Amen.
