Feria

Friends in Christ,

Greetings from New Zealand on this Wednesday Evening. Please refer to Blessed St.Paul's letter ( the first letter ) to the Corinthians, chapter 13, verse 7 "Charity... beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, edureth all things."

Well known words, are they not? I can think of four kinds of spirits in this world, which diametrically oppose charity: resentment, aversion, jealousy, and indifference. These four spirits seem to be around in almost every aspect of our lives: In our family, in our workplace, and even in our Churches. These spirits often take hold of us, it is like being in chaines. Remember that beautiful song, sung by the late Ray Charles " Take these chains from my heart and set me free"? Absolutely wonderful - it is my Holy Prayer this evening, that the Lord Jesus Christ may take these particular chains from my heart and from yours and set us all free, so that we may focus on the all important " Charity"

We can make a difference.

Thanks be to God

In XC
