Isaiah 49:1-6
Psalm 139
Acts of the Apostles 13:22-26
Luke 1:57-66, 80
I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made; Ps. 139:14
“What then will this child be?” Lk. 1:66
Lord, each day science learns of the marvelous and awesome wonders of the human body. It is truly wonderful how all the parts and organs work together silently and mysteriously to make us who we are. And you formed each one of us from two microscopic cells. So many processes take place unknown to us beyond our control. I am like a snowflake. You made me unique among the billions of your children. Like John the Baptist you fashioned me from the beginning for your grand purpose. While the workings of my body and mind are impressive even more so are the workings of your Holy Spirit within me. Lord, help me today to be aware of the harmony and balance within me. Also help me to listen to the promptings of your Spirit to fulfill the purpose for which I was made. May I appreciate how special each of your children are to you. Amen.
