Prayer for the Week (March 2-March 8, 2025)

Let us pray that we grow in the likeness of Christ:  God of life and glory, at the Mount of Transfiguration, your Son was revealed in splendor before he suffered death upon the cross.  Grant that we, beholding his majesty, be strengthened to follow him and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; for he eternally dwells with you and the Holy Spirit, One God now and forever.  Amen.

Sunday Reflection (March 2, 2025)

Sunday Reflection upon 2 Corinthians 3:18 

Created in the image of God, we have the potential to reflect God’s glory to the world. This potential is realized as Christ is formed within us and among us. This means that the character and nature of Christ, as revealed in the Bible, becomes a part of our own character and is manifested in our interactions with others. The Holy Spirit’s transformation enables us to mirror the likeness of the Christ we behold, infusing our lives with God’s beauty. The glory of the Lord illuminates our darkness and floods it with light. Created in the image of God, we have the potential to reflect God’s glory to the world.
