Day 363. Questions 365 and 366

Today is day 363 and we are studying the Section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing.

365. How does the Church assist in your sanctification?

The Church’s joyful worship, faithful teaching, grace-filled sacraments, Gospel-shaped calendar, compassionate ministry, loving discipline, and caring fellowship all assist my growth in Christ and are channels of God’s abundant care for my soul. (Ephesians 4:1–16; Philippians 3:12–21)

366. How does the Lord’s Supper assist in your sanctification?

In the Lord’s Supper or Holy Eucharist, I hear the Law read, receive God’s good news of forgiveness, recall my baptismal promises, have my faith renewed, and receive the grace of the Body and Blood of Christ to continue following him in love and obedience. (John 6:53–58; 1 Corinthians 10:15–16)

Our prayers today are Proper 15 found on page 619 and The Collect for Purity on page 106 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
