“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Theme: God had come to us in Jesus

*Read and complete Promise magazine together (December 25th/January 3, 2020 issue)

Lord, first and foremost, thank You for FORGIVING us, for giving us Your life on the Cross. Thank You for the gift of the sacrament of Reconciliation where we can go and freely receive the complete forgiveness of everything we have ever done. Thank You for the peace that comes from Confession.

Remind yourself to move on quickly from disappointments, grudges or anger today … If someone makes a mistake, does not involve you in some way, looks at you the wrong way. Let’s remind ourselves quickly to FORGIVE them and move on. 

Lord, thank you for giving us the opportunity to live life for You. Help us to remember that everything we do is for Your glory and honor. May we grow stronger in the virtue of CHARITY and develop the habit of looking for ways to do good for others.

Luke 10:27
“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”

God, You are the perfect example of UNITY. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three Persons yet One God. May we follow Your example. Help us to set aside all our differences and be UNITED in our efforts to be the best we can be. In Your Name we pray. Amen. 
Let’s practice the virtue of UNITY this week by encouraging and never criticizing one another. 

No arguing with our brothers or sisters. Let’s get along, share and help our brothers and sisters as much as we can all week.
