The First Sunday after Trinity

Love & Compassion

Friends in Christ,

Love & Compassion feature in the Epistle and Holy Gospel for this First Sunday after Trinity. In the Epistle, which comes from Blessed Saint John, his first letter, chapter 4, beginning at verse 7...we are urged to love one another as Christ loves us and in the Holy Gospel from Saint Luke 16, beginning at verse 19, we get to hear the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, who never had compassion and found it was all too late when he ended up in hell. To love one another, we get an opportunity to put this into practice every day, in our own situation of well-being, do we have compassion with those, who have not? This message of love and compassion is preached from the pulpit by our Parish Priests, who, by Apostolic Succession, follow in the footsteps of Christ. Let us take note of this message, because one day it might just be too late for us.

Have a good week,

Ed Bakker
