God is the one who uncovers what lies deeply hidden;
he knows what hides in darkness;
light lives with him!
JOHN 17:25 (MSG)
Righteous Father, the world has never known you,
but I have known you, and these disciples know
that you sent me on this mission.
THE ESSENCE
God remains a total mystery until we encounter Christ Jesus, who has come to shed divine light on us.
DAILY FODDER
What do we mean when we say that Christ reveals the mytery of God? What kind of mysteries are we talking about?
PRAYER
Eternal God, your wisdom reveals mysteries in darkness. Forgive my moments of doubt when fear overshadows faith like clouds obscurring the stars. Help me to abide in your truth like a sturdy tree rooted by living waters. Let my life testify to your glory, shining light in the shadows. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,

Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
