Day 83: Jesus and the Temple (583-586)


Prayer by Fr. Mike: “Father in Heaven, we give you praise. We give you glory. We thank you for this moment. We thank you above all for your Son, Jesus. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that you have poured into our hearts as baptized Christians. We thank you for the gift of worship. We thank you that in your Son, you have fulfilled all worship of old. And you have placed in our hands, in our lives, the New and Eternal Covenant. The new and eternal way you want us to worship you, which we see in sign and in shadow now. But ultimately, we will see and be able to do face-to-face in your presence for all Eternity. Lord God, open our minds and our hearts to understand and love your Temple. Open our minds and our hearts to understand and love how the Temple is fulfilled in your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen”
