“All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God.”

Lord God, thank you for this wonderful day. As we continue to realign our dispositions and plans to yours this new year, grant us a clear outlook centered on your love and truth. Like John the Baptist in the gospel today, help us to make Jesus a guide and teacher in this life. Grant us true wisdom and understanding. We ask this through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.

St. Peregrine, pray for us.
