2nd Reading

Did 2nd reading yesterday, upon Ate Daisy and Sister Alta's prodding.

Couldn't refuse. 最後 コミュニティ のため

What can I say? Is there a passage more appropriate for me.

1 Timothy 1:12-17

Paul uses the fact of his dramatic conversion in a very powerful way when he acknowledges his previous errors and encourages others to make the same journey as he did in terms of their faith commitment. Paul knows the power of the Gospel to change a person’s life because he has experienced it. Let us pray for the grace to give God a similar opportunity to work the same sorts of miracles in our own lives. There is no doubt in my mind that this is what God wants to do.

12 I am grateful to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me trustworthy in appointing me to the ministry. 13 I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and an arrogant man, but I have been mercifully treated because I acted out of ignorance in my unbelief. 14 Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost. 16 But for that reason I was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in him for everlasting life. 17 To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
