GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS
Bob Dylan famously wrote, “You may be an ambassador to England or France. You may like to gamble, you might like to dance. You may be the heavyweight champion of the world. You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls. But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed. You’re gonna have to serve somebody. Well, it may be the Devil or it may be the Lord. But you’re gonna have to serve somebody…” It’s an idea which Paul articulates in today’s Epistle lesson. As those who have been baptized into the death and resurrection of Christ, we have been set free from our slavery to sin, and now become slaves to righteousness.” But how is that God nourishes us and sustains us in our life in Christ? The chief way is by means of the Holy Communion. Our Gospel lesson for today tells the story of the feeding of the 4,000, where Jesus took, gave thanks, broke and distributed the seven loaves and a few fish, which is for us an image of the Eucharistic feeding we experience every Sunday, whereby our souls and bodies strengthened and preserved unto eternal life..

GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS
In this season of Trinity, which is the season dedicated to our spiritual growth as Christians, the Church invites us to become “partakers of the divine nature” ( 2 Peter 1.4). According to the teaching of the Church Fathers, this path to union and communion with God necessitates a cleansing of the heart of the passions, as we state in the prayer of confession in The Book of Common Prayer,” we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.” In today’s Gospel the passion in question is that of anger against our enemy, the ungrateful, and selfish which Christ exhorts to transcend through love, doing good, blessing, charity, kindness, and mercy, in imitation of God. This is the path we were set on in our baptism, where we consider ourselves “dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus, as St. Paul describes in today’s Epistle.

Will we grow in the Spirit? This is our theme in the season of Trinity. During the Sundays from Trinity 3 to Trinity 9, we are attending to the practical matter of the need for the cleansing of the ‘thoughts of our hearts’ which is the pre-condition for spiritual growth. Having addressed the thoughts of ‘pride’ and ‘self esteem/empty-glory’ , today we consider the thought of ‘sadness’ or ‘dejection. ’ Our Epistle and Gospel reveal to us the various causes of our sadness and provides us with the remedies by which our souls are healed.
