Psalm 97
The Lord is King, let the universe rejoice;
All the people’s everywhere see God’s glory;
The Lord loves those that hate evil;
Give thanks to the Lord!
Acts 21
Paul continued with his companions sailing toward Jerusalem to face arrest and persecution; at every stop prophets of the Church came forward to warn him; but Paul chose to move forward; the people of God surrounded him with love and concern.
Luke 5
Jesus as healer but who is he really?; heals a leper by touching him (no one would ever touch a leper); some friends of a man who was paralysed was determined to have Jesus heal him and when the crowds were great so they took him through the roof; Jesus - your sins are forgiven; religious leaders - Blasphemy!; Jesus - it is not easier to forgive sins than to heal? So you know whose authority I have - he looks to the man and commands him to rise and walk, and the man takes his mat and goes home glorifying God.
Tomorrow | Ps. 101 109:1–4 (5–19) 20–30; Ps. 119:121–144; Hosea 4:11–19; Acts 21:15–26; Luke 5:27–39
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Mission St Clare
