Spiritual Reflection

Father in heaven, from the days of Abraham and Moses until our own day, you have formed a people in the image of your Son. Bless your people with the gift of your kingdom. May we serve with our every desire and show love one for another even as you have loved us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
