Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity, October 2nd, 2022
St. Luke tells us about the time in which Our Blessed Saviour and the Apostles were travelling through the city of Nain. While they were going through the town, St. Luke tells us that they witnessed the funeral procession of a young man who had died. St. Luke tells us that this young man was the only son of his mother who was also a widow. Upon seeing this sight Our Blessed Lord, St. Luke tells us, was moved with compassion. Our Lord raised the young man from the dead and brought him back to life. The people who witnessed this miraculous event were astounded for they had never seen anything like this in their lives: "And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people" (St. Luke 7:16) The people were truly astounded by what they witnessed that day. As a result they glorified God and acknowledged the fact that God had visited His people that day.
I would dare say that most of us do not witness the dead coming back to life or being raised from the dead. But I would also contend that God indeed works miracles in our lives. Has God worked a miracle in your life? Has God given you a miracle? Have you witnessed the powerful working of God in your life? Whether we realize it or not, God is all around us. God works mighty miracles in our lives. We should glorify Our Blessed Saviour and praise His Holy Name on a daily basis! We should acknowledge all the mighty things that God has done for us. So often we do not acknowledge what God has done for us because we take God and His blessings for granted. Thank God on a daily basis for all the wonderful things He has done for you and glorify His Holy Name.
St. Margaret Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.
NOTE: Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.
Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to: hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life. Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
