DAY 2 PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY


DAY 2 PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY ( 19th January 2021 )

Maturing internally: “Abide in me as I abide in you” (John 15:4a)
Scripture

Ephesians 3:14-21, May Christ dwell in our hearts
Luke 2:41-52, Mary treasured all these things
   
Meditation
The encounter with Jesus gives rise to the desire to stay with him and to abide in him: a time in which fruit matures.

Being fully human, like us Jesus grew and matured. He lived a simple life, rooted in the practices of his Jewish faith. In this hidden life in Nazareth, where apparently nothing extraordinary happened, the presence of the Father nourished him.

Mary contemplated the actions of God in her life and in that of her son. She treasured all these things in her heart. Thus, little by little, she embraced the mystery of Jesus.

We too need a long period of maturation, an entire lifetime, in order to plumb the depths of Christ’s love, to let him abide in us and for us to abide in him. Without our know- ing how, the Spirit makes Christ dwell in our hearts. And it is through prayer, by listening to the word, in sharing with others, by putting into practice what we have understood, that the inner being is strengthened.

Prayer
Holy Spirit, may we receive in our hearts the presence of Christ, and cherish it as a secret of love. Nourish our prayer, enlighten our reading of Scripture, act through us, so that the fruits of your gifts can patiently grow in us. Amen.

By. Rev. Dcn. Samuel Nyonje

DIVINE MERCY

THE CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY This Chaplet was dedicated to Sr. Faustina by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in Vilnius on September 13-14, 1935, as a prayer of atonement and for the appeasement of God's wrath. Those who recite this Chaplet offer to God the Father "the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity", of Jesus Christ in atonement for their sins , the sins of their loved ones , and those of the  entire world. By uniting themselves with the sacrifice of Jesus , they appeal to the great love that our Heavenly Father has for His Son and, in Him, for all humanity. By means of this prayer , the petitioners request "mercy on us and on the whole world", and by so doing , they perform a work of mercy. If the faithful add to this the foundation of trust and fulfill the conditions regarding every good prayer ( humility, perseverance, matters in conformity with God's will), they can expect the fulfillment of Christ's promises which are particularly rel...
