RENEW ME O ETERNAL LIGHT: Sunday, February 2. The Good News of the Kingdom of God. Neither demons nor disease that constantly threaten us with darkness can withstand the light of Jesus’ presence. The demons are silenced, the diseases dismissed. Jesus proclaims the Good News that the kingdom of God is at hand. His healing ministry was a foretaste of the world put right. We are bold to pray for his miraculous intervention today, always trusting that our ultimate healing, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting awaits his coming again to usher in the kingdom of God, the new heaven and the new earth, permanently.
