The Gift of Life

We thank God for the beautiful gift of life. God is the Creator, the Author of all life. For our part, we need to show our total dignity and respect for this precious gift. In thanking God for the gift of human life, we also need to be thankful for the gift of eternal life. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus has given us the hope and promise of the life that is to come! As the Gospel acclamation for today says: "I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life". Jesus lights the path for us. He is the one that we need to follow at all times! In our time of prayer, may we be thankful, but let us pray for the grace to radiate the light of Christ to others and walk always in his footsteps! Have a blessed day!!!
