DESCRIPTION:First reading: Isaiah 40: 1-5\, 9-11\nPsalm:104: 1-4\, 24-25\, 27-30\, (Bless the Lord\, O my soul! O Lord my God\, how great you are!)\nSecond reading: Titus 2: 11-14; 3: 4-7\nGospel: Luke 3: 15-16\, 21-22\n\nBrief Homily\nToday we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord\, where Jesus\, though sinless\, chose to be baptized to show His solidarity with us. In the Gospel\, we hear that as Jesus prayed\, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him\, and God the Father declared\, “You are my Son\, whom I love.” This moment reminds us of our own baptism\, where we too receive the Holy Spirit and become children of God. Through Jesus\, we are offered forgiveness\, grace\, and a new life. Just as Jesus received the Spirit and heard God’s voice\, we too are called to listen to God’s voice in our lives and live according to His will.

He knows that his mission is to prepare the way for Jesus\, and he joyfully steps aside when Jesus’ ministry begins to grow. John’s words remind us that we must always decrease so that Christ may increase in our lives. Our joy should come from knowing that we are part of God’s plan\, not from seeking glory for ourselves. As we continue our journey of faith\, let us embrace humility\, giving God the glory He deserves\, and allowing Jesus to be the center of our lives. Like John\, we are called to point others to Christ\, bringing them closer to Him through our actions and words.\n \nMorning Prayer\nLord\, thank you for this new day.

St. John encourages us to love one another\, just as God has loved us. If we love\, we remain in God\, and His love is made perfect in us. This love drives out fear\, for fear has no place where love dwells. In the Gospel\, Jesus walks on water to reach His disciples during a storm\, showing His power and care.

In the first reading\, St. John teaches that love is not just a feeling\, but a choice we make to act with kindness\, compassion\, and care. He calls us to love others in truth and action\, not just in words. The psalm invites us to rejoice and give thanks to God for His goodness. In the Gospel\, Jesus calls Philip and Nathanael to follow Him.

DESCRIPTION:First reading: 1 John 3: 7-10\nPsalm: 98: 1\, 7-9 (All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God)\nGospel: John 1: 35-42\n\nBrief Homily\nToday’s readings remind us of the importance of living as true children of God. In the first reading\, St. John warns us that those who live in sin do not belong to God. We are called to live in righteousness and love\, just as Jesus did. The psalm celebrates God’s salvation\, a gift that is seen by all people. In the Gospel\, John the Baptist points to Jesus\, and two of his disciples follow Him. When they encounter Jesus\, they recognize Him as the Messiah and decide to follow Him. \nLet us follow the example of the disciples\, choosing to follow Jesus each day. By living in His love and truth\, we show that we are truly His children. \nMorning Prayer\nLord\, help me live today as Your child\, following Your example of love and righteousness. Guide me to stay away from sin and live in purity. Thank You for Your salvation\, and help me share Your love with others. Like the disciples\, may I choose to follow Jesus every day\, growing closer to Him. Let my actions reflect Your truth\, so that the world may see Your love in me. Amen. May the Almighty God Bless you\, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen \nInspiration Message\n\nLive as Children of God: St. John teaches that we are called to live in righteousness and love\, reflecting God’s character in all we do.\nStay Away from Sin: To belong to God\, we must avoid sin and choose to live in purity\, following Jesus’ example.\nGod’s Salvation is for All: The psalm reminds us that God’s salvation is visible to all people.

SUMMARY:Prayer: 20th December 2024
DESCRIPTION:Heavenly Father\, in my life I experience people being nasty to me. Today if someone should be nasty\, help me to be courteous in return. I meet people who are unkind to me: today if I meet any such\, help me to be kind to them in return and when an occasion arises\, help me to generously assist them in their needs. Lord\, today when I meet people who hurt me\, insult me\, ignore me or even injure me\, help me to forgive them as Jesus did in a much worse situation – hanging on the cross. This is difficult\, Lord. But it must have been even more difficult for Jesus. If I love you\, I know I will not find it so difficult. Then help me to love you so. I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
