“I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him
who is of a contrite and humble spirit.”
–Isaiah 57:15
Meditation – Step 5: Find God in Yourself
Whether you know it, feel it, or experience it, by virtue of your Baptism God dwells within you in the name of the Holy Spirit.
So what do you do with this powerful love that can literally transform
the world?
Let this reality be born in your home. Let it come alive in the secret, in the quiet, in the humility that no one will see.
You can take this power within you and do one practical thing every single day…bestow this blessing on your children. Bless them everyday.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. – Numbers 6:24-26
Prayer for the New Year
Remember us, O God; from age to age be our comforter.
You have given us the wonder of time, blessings in days and nights, seasons and years.
Bless your children at the turning of the year and fill the months ahead with the bright hope that is ours in the coming of Christ. You are our God, living and reigning, forever and ever. Amen.
