Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, 3the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name, 6including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, 7To all God’s beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
*************
Grace and peace. May you each be filled with it this Saturday. May you be so filled with it that it sloshes around, overflowing the rims of your lives and splashing into the life of your neighbors and friends. May grace and peace be so tangible in your life that you know the sound of peace flowing like a river, and you know the way your soul lifts when you remember the grace you have been given. May grace and peace rise like the morning sun and stay aloft, the guiding star in the days and nights of your lives, a beacon, shining for all to see, that leads your forward as you serve Christ the King. Grace and Peace.
Blessings.
