Daily Thoughts 4-15-2017 Romans 6:6

"We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin." Romans‬ ‭6:6‬

Our human nature sometimes gets the better of us.  Christ died so that we may no longer be under the power of sin.  It is he who gives us strength to die to our sin.  There is life in Christ Jesus, there is power in the blood of the Lamb.  Remember what Jesus did for us and sin no more.  

Let us pray to our Redeemer, who suffered for us, was buried, and rose from the dead.
– Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, our Lord, you saw your mother standing by the cross;
  may we share your saving passion in our time of suffering.
– Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, our Saviour, you died like a grain of wheat falling into the ground;
  gather us to yourself in the harvest of redemption.
– Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, our shepherd, lying in the tomb you were hidden from men;
  teach us to love our real life, which is hidden with you in God.
– Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, the new Adam, you went down into the world of the dead to free the just;
  may those who are dead in sin hear your voice and live.
– Lord, have mercy on us.
Son of the living God, we were buried with you in baptism;
  let us rise with you, alive to God for ever.
– Lord, have mercy on us.


Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
