Thoughts from the Lectionary for the Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity

From the Epistle Lesson: Galatians 5:16-24

Vss. 22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

The Apostle Paul in this passage has been writing of the differences between the works of the Spirit and the works of the flesh. Living by the law, living as though the law our boundaries does not save us, for we are enticed by the boundaries and can not keep it perfectly. But if we live by the Spirit the boundaries of the law no longer entice us, and our crossing the boundaries of the law fall away most naturally. The flesh and the law cease to be stumbling blocks as we walk in the Spirit.

So, let us live by the Spirit sharing his fruit with all we meet as we go through our daily tasks.

Blessings,

Fr. Duane+
