No Condemnation!

We live in a frenetic world, constantly running from one obligation to the next. Sometimes we just need to rest. Jesus understands how exhausting life can be. How we work to prove ourselves to our spouses, our coworkers, even prove ourselves to God. The Good News of the Gospel though, is not “pull yourselves up by your bootstraps” or “try harder next time.” The Good News Jesus brings is summed up in his words, “Come to me all who labor and are weighed-down and I will give you rest.

PROPER 9
Week of the Sunday from July 3 to July 9

Grant us, O Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who can do no good thing apart from you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
