Christ our King, it is so right to give you thanks and praise always for all you do and all you are.  We give thanks for your immeasurable power at work in us to clothe us in compassion and righteousness, so that we might be fit for the kingdom which you prepared for us from the foundation of the world.  Grant us the grace to participate in that kingdom here on earth as it is with you.  We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit; one God forever and ever.  AMEN.Related Posts:

Merciful God, forgive us for trusting in ourselves more than you.  Show us your compassion, as we turn toward you again; remind us of your faithfulness and grant us the grace to risk our lives in you.  We like to take the reigns of life ourselves.  We can’t seem to consistently live out a cooperative faith.  But like Deborah and Barak, like the good servants our Lord spoke of, like the church at Thessalonica, fashion us to communally live in the light of the grace you have shed on us.  We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit; one God forever and ever.  AMEN.Related Posts:
