Dear Lord God,

In the beginning, You created heaven and earth, and created every single one of us in Your image. You knew us in the womb. Thank You for the word made flesh, Jesus, Your son, our savior Messiah, our Lord, our awesome brother and gift in the manger, our Bread of Life on the alter, our rescuer on the cross in Calvary, our reward in heaven. The one who has conquered it all.

Thank you for the multitude of daily miracles and the answered prayers. Thank You for the miracle of the sun in Fatima.

Forgive us our transgressions. Forgive us our lack of faith, our lack of belief, our lack of trust in Your will, our putting other gods before You. We are a sinful people.

Grow us into the likeness of Christ. Remove our ego and pride. Make us bold in the gospel. Grant us the fire of the Spirit to grow disciples of Jesus.

In His name, Amen.
