special adoration for 31st december

Adoration for 31^st December.

Every day God thinks of you…

Every hour God looks after you…

Every minute God cares for you… because

Every second He loves you…..

Yes dear friends…

·         God loves us so much that, he wants to be with us…

·         God loves us so much that, that He became one among us..

·         God loves us so much that, that He left His heavenly throne and is here with us in this small form of Bread.

·         God loves us so much that, He left the adoration and Veneration by the Angels and Saints and is waiting here to be adored by us, the human beings, the weak and fragile human beings, the unfaithful and unworthy human beings…

Yes dear friends, come let us adore him, let us worship Him, let us Glorify Him, let us Praise Him and let us Thank Him.

SONG….sthuthi karthi hum

            

Jesus before leaving this earth promised to send us a helper, the Holy Spirit, who will teach us everything. Now let us invoke the assistance of the Holy Spirit that the Holy Spirit may help us to pray during this hour. (Kindly repeat this prayer after me)

O Holy Spirit, come fill our hearts with your holy gifts.

Penetrate our weakness with your strength.

O Holy Spirit, fill us with your love, that we may love everyone.

Assist us, O Holy Spirit, in all the trials of life,

Enlighten us in our ignorance,

Advise us in our doubts,

Strengthen us in our weakness,

Help us in all our needs,

Protect us against all temptations,

Console us in our afflictions,

Graciously hear us, O Divine Spirit and

Pour out your light into our minds, into our wills and into our hearts...

Help us to live a holy life and

To grow in goodness and grace. Amen.

SONG…prabhu ka dhanyavaad karunga..

ASKING FORGIVENESS;

God’s love is like a protective cloak around me...

He holds me close to His heart, like a father holds his child…

Whatever may happen….

His love for me will not change...

If I can’t see him. Or

If I cannot hear Him, it is because

I am not looking for Him,

I am not listening to Him… for

He is there close to me

Close to my heart.

Yes dear friends……

Even though God is with us always and at every moment, there were times when we were very sad, at times we were lonely, at times we were friendless, at times we were for lone, at times we felt like running away somewhere far, at times we felt like even ending the God given life,,,,, why??????

Yes, the reason is……..

·         It was not because God was not with us but we were not with God..

·         It was not because God was not close to us but we were not close to God..

·         It was not because God did not love us but we refuse experience His love..

·         It was not because God left our side but we failed to be on His side

·         WE HAVE DISTANCED GOD FROM OUR LIFE….

AS THE Scripture says, “If you cannot love the human beings whom you can see, you cannot love God whom you cannot see.”

Yes….

·         We distanced God from our life, when we did not love our brothers and sisters genuinely.

·         We distanced God from our life, when did not accept others as they are..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we hurt others with our words and deeds and when we were hurt by others.

·         We distanced God from our life, when did not forgive others and kept the grudge within us..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we remained without talking to others for years..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we did not help others when they were in need of helping hand..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we did not visit our brothers and sisters and our neighbours when the were sick and hospitalized..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we did not obey the Commandments of the Lord..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we did not spare our little to spend with the Lord, to go church and for the church activities..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we did not listen to the whisperings of the Lord to do good..

·         We distanced God from our life, when we blamed God and blamed others for every misfortunes that happened in our life.

Yet in all these, God’s love for you is the same. He loves you and me unconditionally. For Him, the gravity of our sin doesn’t matter to Him anymore!!! What matters to Him the most is our contrite heart, our repentant heart and our humble heart. Come dear friends let’s go to the Lord of Mercy.

In silence let us pardon from the Lord and from one another for all our ill feelings towards oneself, towards one another and towards God Himself, for a few seconds

SONG….  Annunay vinay karthi hum Mei….
