Dear heavenly Father,
We receive your Son Jesus as our Shepherd. We put our faith and total trust in him.
We believe that you sent him to lay down his life for us. We receive that eternal life offered by your grace. Let us never waver from that commitment. Let no one ever remove us from your hand.
In Christ, Amen.
Dear Father in heaven,
Thanks to Jesus the light of the world, we can say with the blind man that we were once blind but now we see. We thank you for opening our eyes to the truth that Jesus is the Son of God, the Son of Man and the Savior that we need.
Help us to hold on tightly to that faith, knowing that in a world full of trials, troubles and temptations, Jesus is our only hope.
And let us serve you with good works, the very kind that you have planned for us, so that we can carry out our mission as lights in this dark and dying world.
In Christ,
Amen
After the feeding of the 5000, Jesus returns to Capernaum. There, in the synagogue, he declares himself to be the bread of life.
Here is a link to the livestream video:
Dear God and Father,
We thank you for sending Jesus, the bread of life and the bread that came down from heaven. We understand that we will live through him or we will not live at all. At this moment we express our total faith and trust in him and him alone.
It is through his death and resurrection – through the giving of his body and the shedding of his blood – that we are saved.
Help us please, by the power of your Holy Spirit to remain faithful unto death to that commitment.
We have no other hope aside from Jesus Christ,
Amen
