In our prayers we seek to deepen our relationship with the person of Christ.

In his Transfiguration, we see an anticipation of the glory of Jesus’ Resurrection.

During Lent, we are led by the Holy Spirit to remember the vows of Baptism in which we promised to reject sin and to follow Jesus.

Even when Jesus was in deserted places, people sought him out in search of his healing.

We believe that in his prayers Jesus found guidance and direction from God. We also bring our decision-making to God in prayer, asking for his guidance and direction in our lives.

Jesus appears to be like these healers, but he heals with unique authority and connects his healing activities with the words of his preaching.

The Kingdom of God is here and now. The time of fulfilment is at hand. How might our lives be different if we more fully shared this sense of the immediacy of God’s kingdom?

In the model of Mary, we pray that we will be people of faith who recognize God’s saving plan for us and are able respond with obedience.

Advent … reminds us that Jesus will come again to fulfill the promise of salvation. We pray that we will continue to be watchful as we anticipate that great day.

Our Baptism commissions us to call others to life as disciples of Jesus.
