Scripture Passage
Reflection
How is your life purpose like and unlike John the Baptist’s purpose? What is a way that your story witnesses about Jesus, and how might you be a witness today?
The Prayer for the Week
Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
