JANUARY 28

Accept God's Grace
PRAYER.

My Lord and my God, let me always be attentive to the prompting of Your grace.

YOU do not know what will become of you, unless you receive the gifts of grace when they are offered. Perhaps you will rush into open and willful sin. Your heart may be upon the world; you may pass through life with no love of things invisible, no love of Christ your Savior.

This will be the end of your refusing the love compulsion of Almighty God: slavery to this world, and to the god of this world. God save us all, young and old, from this, through Jesus Christ.
