“WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN NOW” (1 Jn 3:2)

“See what love the Father has bestowed on us in letting us be called children of God!” –1 John 3:1 Mass Readings: January 3 First: Philippians 2:5-11; Resp: Psalm 113:1-8; Gospel: Matthew 1:18-23 Something happened to St. John that needs to happen to all of us.

Today’s Promise : I am a gracious God who is righteous and full of mercy

Psalm 116:5 (WEB) Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. Promise #93: I am a gracious God who is righteous and full of mercy. Our God and Father is as righteous as He is gracious and merciful. He is just and holy, as well as being loving and compassionate. For some of us, we might see this as a contradiction in terms. How can the same God who is righteous and holy be gracious and full of mercy? The simple truth is that the price that Jesus Christ paid for all our sin when He died on...

Promise #40: Trust in Me with all your heart and I will guide you. Proverbs 3:5-6 is one of those Scripture passages that have meant a great deal to me personally over the years. As a person who has had the tendency to trust in his own resources, the idea that I don’t have to lean on my own understanding to manage life is very good news indeed....
