1 John 2:29-3:6
If you consider that God is righteous, you also know that everyone who acts in righteousness is begotten by him.
See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure.
Everyone who commits sin commits lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness. You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who remains in him sins; no one who sins has seen him or known him.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for the souls of those who are participating in the "Blasphemy Challenge" that young people are participating in, that God may reveal Himself to them in a profound way. I just read about it on MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16409851/site/newsweek/).
Why is it "popular" to challenge God?
We need to pray for the many souls at stake. We need to pray that the world may come to know HIM and that they may place their hope in HIM.
It is a scary time, brothers and sisters. Let us, with great urgency, rend our hearts to God and may we come to know HIM, in scripture and sacrament, as if our lives depend it, because it does. Take care and God Bless.
