Estrangement and Reconciliation

"Almighty Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, you sent your Son to be born of a woman and die on a cross, so that through the obedience of one man estrangement may be dissolved for all men. Guide our minds by his truth and strengthen our lives by the example of his death, that we may live in union with you in the kingdom of your promise." (Prayer at Mass)

Our sins caused our estrangement from God. Christ's obedience reconciles us to God.

Guide our minds by His truth: Truth as found in the Gospel and in the Bible.
