January 7, 2025
- First reading: 1 John 4: 7-10
- Psalm:72: 1-4, 7-8 (All nations on earth shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord)
- Gospel: Mark 6: 34-44
Brief Homily
Today’s readings remind us of God’s great love for us and His call for us to love one another. In the first reading, St. John teaches us that love comes from God, and anyone who loves knows God. God showed His love by sending His Son to save us.
The psalm proclaims that all nations will bow before God. He is the King, and all should worship Him. In the Gospel, Jesus shows His compassion by feeding the crowd with just five loaves and two fish, demonstrating that He provides for our needs. Let us love one another as God has loved us, trust in His provision, and worship Him as the King of our lives.
Morning Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your amazing love. Help me to love others as You have loved me. I trust in Your provision and know that You will care for all my needs today. I bow before You as my King and seek to honor You in all I do. Guide me to share Your love with others, showing kindness and compassion. May my life reflect Your goodness and peace. Amen. May the Almighty God Bless you, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen
