Scripture, Reflection and Prayer 1/02/2009

Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and spiritual to God--which is your spiritual worship.
- Rom 12:1

Reflection: Christian life is a sacrifice. Sacrifice inspired by charity has the merit of bringing us into conformity with the earthly life of Jesus. For He became our brother and died for us in order to assure us of joy and glory forever.
- Pope John XXIII

Prayer: O Lord, teach me the profound meaning of sharing in the Cross of Jesus, Your Son, so that I may live forever in Your love.
