The Daily Gift of New Life
Posted by tom | Aug 27, 2005These lines in his Small Catechism hit me forcefully when I was in my twenties:
In the morning, as soon as you get out of bed, you are to make the sign of the holy cross and say: 'God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit watch over me. Amen.'
Further directions follow: say the Apostles Creed, pray the Lord's Prayer. … Then you are to go to your work joyfully (Martin E. Marty in Luther: The Daily Gift of New Life).
May we receive the daily gift of new life today and step forward in living in the grace of God.
