J.M.J.F.
My brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus may his
grace and peace be with you always.
The purpose of this program and other programs in
this catechetical series is to give honor and
glory to God, our Father and to obey Jesus
command to spread the Good News to all the
nations
Let us pray Father we thank you for the gift of
life you have given us. We thank you for most
beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, whom You sent
to teach us to know, love and serve you, and who
suffered and died for our redemption. We thank
you for the gift of the Holy Spirit, and pray
that the Holy Spirit will open our minds and
hearts as we strive through our studies to know,
love and serve you better. We offer this
thanksgiving and petition in Jesus name. Amen
