From Luke 23:43 - "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise"
From Revelation 2:7 - He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Prayer: Father of everlasting to everlasting, thank you for the words of hope and promise which your Son gave us, even from the Cross. May His words pierce our hearts to acknowledge the truth of your eternity and accept the grace you extend to us, all sinners. May we look forward to eating from the tree of life. In the name of the crucified Christ. Amen.
