Therefore, when the Virgin of virgins was led forth by God and her Son, the King of kings, amid the company of exulting angels and rejoicing archangels, with the heavens ringing with praise, the prophecy of the psalmist was fulfilled, in which he said to the Lord: At your right hand stands the queen, clothed in gold of Ophir.
From a homily by St Amadeus of Lausanne, bishop
it seems the church and government belong to the same complex kingdom; leaders like president trump and senator biden vie against each other to seat themselves in our country’s cathedral by condemning each other’s religious practices…when will we be free from civil jurisdiction; how can we separate the sacred from the secular?
Today’s Scriptures
The angel led me to the gate which faces the east,
and there I saw the glory of the God of Israel
coming from the east.
I heard a sound like the roaring of many waters,
and the earth shone with his glory.
The vision was like that which I had seen
when he came to destroy the city,…
what am i supposed to do until God returns in His Glory?
I will hear what God proclaims;
the LORD–for he proclaims peace.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land.
R. The glory of the Lord will dwell in our land.
to whom am i to place my allegiance, republicans or democrats?
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
You have but one Father in heaven;
you have but one master, the Christ.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
but i have to vote for someone; which candidate best align’s with God’s Kingdom?
“The greatest among you must be your servant.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;
but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
