“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have

been brought near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13)

With this statement, St. Paul notes that everything has changed with Jesus. Believers and unbelievers, Jewish and gentiles who have been “been far off” have now been “brought near” by the pure grace of God. Thanks to the blood of Christ!

Pray that the Holy Spirit may help you break all barriers against love, unity, family and community!

Prayer: St. Francis of Assisi: Make me an instrument of your peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Have a blessed new week to you!
