Behold the Lamb of God
In this weekend’s Gospel we hear John the Baptist point his followers towards Christ, with the words “Behold the Lamb of God”. it was a declaration of faith, but also a simple direction to look to Christ, to follow His path, imitate His ways and do as He would do and as He would want. In the noisy lives we live, it’s easy to lose sight of the quiet example of God, the path of service, acceptance and help, of giving hope and comfort, strength and courage to all we meet and to our world. In a noisy world a little quiet is a special and even a necessary thing, because in the quiet we realise how little so much really matters and how much so little really counts. This month as we continue into a New Year, why not take a moment to think of God’s way in the world and take some little bit of it as a good way to live a good life in this new year. Surrender the worries, let go of the nonsense, and live the peaceful way of God. It can only make life easier and its bound to help you or someone who is yours. Why not try?
Heavenly Father,
In Your boundless love, we lay our worries at the feet of the Lamb.
Grant us the strength to release our burdens,
trusting in Your divine plan.
May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding,
fill our hearts and minds.
Help us to embrace faith over fear,
knowing that You are our refuge and strength.
Amen.
With every blessing – Fr O’Neill
