St. John 1:9-14
St. John 1:9-14, we are reminded of the profound gift of God’s grace poured out through Jesus Christ. The “true light” that comes into the world is not just a source of guidance, but a beacon of God’s unmerited favor. Jesus, the Word made flesh, dwelled among us, revealing God’s love and mercy in a tangible way. Though many did not recognize or receive Him, His grace still flows freely, offering salvation to all who believe in His name.
As we reflect during this Lenten season, we are invited to examine how we respond to this grace. Are we open to the light of Christ in our lives, allowing it to transform us? In a world that often seeks to remain in darkness, may we embrace the grace that is continually poured out, and let it guide us to live with love, humility, and forgiveness—drawing others into the light of Christ’s saving presence.
CLOSING PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the incredible gift of Your grace, poured out through Your Son, Jesus Christ. As we reflect on His light coming into the world, we are reminded of Your boundless love and mercy that invite us into Your presence. Lord, help us to receive Your grace with open hearts, allowing it to transform our lives. May we no longer walk in darkness, but live in the light of Christ, sharing His love with others.
In this Lenten season, strengthen our faith and guide us in reflecting Your grace to the world around us. Help us to be vessels of Your compassion, humility, and forgiveness, so that we may reflect Your love in all we do. May Your grace continually lead us to a deeper relationship with You and a life that brings glory to Your name.
In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
