Week of April 22 - 28, 2012

Our great God and Father, we are overwhelmed as we contemplate the reality of the cross and the resurrection of your only Son. Father, we are not deserving of such love and compassion, but You gave it anyway, motivated by your love for us.

Jesus, thank you for willingly going to Calvary's Cross to die for our sins. Now guide us, Lord, by the power of your Holy Spirit, so that we would accept and cherish this free gift of forgiveness. May we also forgive all those who have done us wrong. Help us to love like You, Lord.

This we pray in the loving name of Jesus. Amen.  

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Romans 5:8 NIV)

Week of Nov. 13 - 19, 2011

Almighty Father, help us to remember that it is all about Your mercy, rather than Your justice. Guide us always along the right paths, and grant that we may never be unaware of the needs of others, especially the poor, the destitute, the deprived, and the bereaved. As we learn more and more each day to love one another, we make our prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.


“Lord, listen to my cry for help! Listen compassionately to my pleading!
If You never overlooked our sins, Lord, could anyone survive?”

(Psalm 130:2-3 Jerusalem)
