Prayer for the Week (January 8, 2023-January 14, 2023)

Let us pray that we love God in all things and above all things: Merciful God, you have prepared for those who love you good things that surpass our understanding. Pour into our hearts such love towards you that loving you above all else, we obtain your promises which exceed all that we can desire, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sunday Reflection (January 1, 2023)

God’s grace revealed in Jesus Christ is not only to be received but also a grace to be shared with others and that can indeed be mysterious on personal and social levels (Ephesians 3:1-12). For example, who would have thought 50 years ago that the US and a Vietnam controlled by the North would be on somewhat decent terms with the US? Also, think of the people with whom you have been reconciled in the passing of time.

Having been reconciled to our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit we share God’s grace as we seek to be reconciled with others. In the unfolding of this mystery, we pray for those who have yet to understand the mystery and majesty of God’s grace. May even our enemies see the light of God’s love through us because we have been enlightened and transformed by the light of God’s love. May God’s love shine forth through us in Christ’s Church and in our individual lives.

Prayer for the Week (January1, 2023-January 7, 2023)

Let us pray to God our Father that Christ be the light of all: God of all nations, peoples and cultures, on the day of the Epiphany you made bright your light and your love destined for all. Guide us on the ways of your Son. May your kindly light shine everywhere, so that all peoples praise you in their own language and enrich your Church with their own gifts. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Prayer for the Week (December 18, 2022-December 24, 2022)

Let us pray that we welcome Christ: God, we eagerly await the coming of your Son among us. Prepare us to receive him when he comes by recalling that he came to us in poverty and humility. May the Holy Spirit lead us to discover Christ in the simplicity of everyday life and everyday people. Accustom us to your Son and his ways, for he is our Lord and Savior. Amen.
