First Reading:(Acts 1: 12-14)The most important lesson for fervent Christians which these three verses from Acts stress today is the need for prayer, even amidst the most pressing work for God and for our neighbors' salvation. Second Reading:(1 Peter 4:13-16) Living the Christian life then is not the work of mere man. It is the product of human nature aided and elevated to a higher plane by divine grace. Gospel:(John 17: 1-11)The Son of God, Jesus Christ, came on earth and lived among us. He was God in real human nature. This is the mystery of the Incarnation, but the real mystery for us is not how it could be done, but why it was done. The answer is the mystery of God's infinite love for us.Read more at:
