Daily Prayer

Behold, the Lamb of God.

Today, Jesus, help me remember that I have been
baptized into your life, death, and resurrection.
Let me never stop pondering what that means for me.

Help me remember that your Spirit has come down
on me like a dove from heaven and remains on me forever.
Let me never stop pondering what that means for me.

Help me to join with your whole body today
and to be open to your Spirit uniting and transforming us
into your very Body and Blood, with which you feed us.
Help us truly to become part of your heavenly liturgy.
And let me, Jesus, never stop pondering
what this means for me.

Today, Jesus, help me truly be your disciple.
Help me to love as you love.
Help me to stay true to you,
even when the world tries to pull me
in a different way.
Help me live compassionately,
and to respond with kindness when I feel insulted.
Help me to learn how to forgive
seventy times seven times.
And let me never stop pondering
what all this means for me.

Help me, Jesus, to do all this,
so that what John said of you,
he can also say of me in you:
“Behold the Lamb of God.”
Amen.
