Daily Retreat 11/10/07
2007 Nov 10 Sat:Leo the Great, pp, dr M
Rom 16:3-9. 16. 22-27/ Ps 144(145):2-3. 4-5. 10-11/ Lk 16:9-15
From today’s readings: “ Greet one another with a holy kiss.... I will praise Your name for ever, Lord..... You cannot serve God and mammon....”
Wrapping up Romans
For the last month and a half, the first reading has generally been from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans, his longest and theologically richest epistle. Why not sit down today for 30 minutes and re-read the entire letter, recalling the many insights Paul offered to help you and me (not just the Romans!) to grow in our faith?
Today, we finally reach the closing, a litany of personal and poignant greetings. All of those mentioned were ardent co-workers with Paul in spreading the Gospel. If Paul were penning a letter to your community, would you rate a personal greeting for the zeal you’ve shown in living out your own faith?
To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever and ever - Amen!
