O Master, Who are infinite in Your divine nature, You condescended in these latter days to become incarnate and   finite. In assuming a body like mine, You accepted the limitations of mankind and showed me that it is possible to live a life of love and concern for others. You showed me, through the struggles You encountered in life, that it is possible to love, even when hated, and to forgive, even when wronged. You showed me how to live so that I might truly grow to be God’s child. Help me to show my thankfulness by imitating You. As I request Your help, O God, I offer my praise to You, Who I know to be Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not only now but forever and ever. Amen.
