CHRIST OUR GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE

If I may use human terms to help your natural weakness:
as once you put your bodies at the service of vice and
immorality, so now you must put them at the service of
righteousness for your sanctification.

When you were slaves of sin, you felt no obligation to
righteousness, and what did you get from this? Nothing
but experiences that now make you blush, since that sort
of behaviour ends in death.

Now, however, you have been set free from sin, you have
been made slaves of God, and you get a reward leading to
sanctification and ending in eternal life.

For the wage paid by sin is death; the present given by
God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mass Readings

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Your Son
Jesus Christ, a reward leading to our sanctification,
and eternal life.  Thank you for setting us free from
the slavery of sin, and death. I am now God's slave.
