MAIN PHOTO The XVII Sunday after Pentecost

The Seventeenth Sunday

The commandment to love our neighbor is similar to that by which we are bound to love God, since it is for love of Him that we love our neighbor at all.

“Two-fold,” says St. Augustine, “is the commandment but one is the charity.”

And to enforce His teaching in the eyes of the Pharisees, our Lord gives them a proof of His Divinity in the shape of a passage quoted from David himself. We ought, therefore, to be united to Christ by faith and love. Questioned about the first commandment, our Lord reveals the second, which is scarcely of less importance than the first, thus showing them that they only questioned Him through hatred since charity does not ask perverse questions (I Cor xiii, 4). In this way He shows His respect for the law and the prophets.

Having thus given His answer Jesus asks questions in His turn and proves that since being the Son of David, He is called his Lord, He is the only Son of the Father. And He alarms them by telling them that one day He will triumph over all who resist His rule, for God will make His enemies His footstool. By these words He makes clear the union and harmony existing between His Father and Himself. The Gradual psalm sings to us of the Divine charity: “Blessed is the people whom He hath chosen for His inheritance. Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in Thee.”

All men are summoned to the Kingdom of God, the heavenly Jerusalem animated by charity, to form “one body” that is the Church, called by St. Gregory a new creation, and quickened by “one Spirit”, the Holy Ghost given at Pentecost, for there exists for all but “one Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Epistle).

The St Andrew’s Daily Missal also contains historical commentary and footnotes on the Feast days, devotions, prayers of preparation for before and after Mass as well as the Propers for Vespers for Sundays and major Feast days throughout the year. It also contains forms for Morning and Evening Prayer, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and Compline. It really is a treasury of devotion!
Look out for the Daily Mass posts with the page numbers given for each Mass in the Missal.

Discerning God’s will for my life…

CATECHISM CLASSES will continue THIS Saturday immediately following the end of the Mass there’ll be a quick break fast and class starts at 10am finishing at 11am. This is the perfect opportunity to invite enquirers to the Faith or come along yourself to revisit the basic tenets of Christianity.

Cuba Saturday School Project

The Primus of the Holy Synod, Metropolitan Jerome of Selsey has chosen the Saturday School project for our sponsorship. The monthly rent of the school building is $40 per month or approximately £30, we’d like to raise a year’s rent this Lent, approximately £360 almost $500 and perhaps a little more to contribute to materials and resources for the activities.

Please prayerfully consider contributing to this worthwhile cause, perhaps donating a month’s rent for the school building? Use the button below and be clear to make the donation for “Saturday School Cuba” when prompted. God bless you.

To donate just press the button!

We have a passion to see the United Kingdom return to the Christian faith. Our nation has been shaped and defined by this faith for hundreds of years. Yet in the last few decades, the nation has largely turned her back on Jesus and embraced alternative ideas such as secular liberal humanism, moral relativism and sexual licence. The fruit of this can be seen in widespread family breakdown, immorality and social disintegration. https://www.christianconcern.com/

A **Stop Christophobia campaign** has been launched by Premier Christian Radio. The success of this campaign depends highly on the number of people who support it so please share this link with your contacts on social media and sign it yourself! There is currently a momentum building, but change won’t happen unless people stand up and be counted. **Together we can ensure that Christian minorities are protected from discrimination and persecution.**https://www.thestopcampaign.org/

This site is for everyone who is concerned about the social and medical ‘transition’ of children, the introduction of ‘gender identity’ teaching into schools and new policies and legislation based on subjective ideas of ‘gender’ rather than the biological reality of sex.
