 Palm Sunday, April 2nd, 2023

I got a job delivering newspapers when I was around 11 or 12 years old and I have been working ever since.  I have worked at a number of jobs and places.  I have done some very interesting things at my job and I have also done very boring things as well.  I am sure you can probably say the same thing about your various jobs throughout your life.  I've also had some very interesting bosses and supervisors    the way.  Some were nice.  Some were not as nice.  Some were supportive and others not so supportive.  Again, I am sure you can say the same.  The best bosses, in my opinion, were the ones who led by example.  The best supervisors were the ones who got down in the trenches with you, so to speak.  They were the ones who were not afraid to do the work right next to you.  These bosses were not afraid to do the work and got right in there and worked alongside of you to get things accomplished.  They led by example.  In a certain way we could say that Our Lord is like that, isn't He?  He chose to come to earth so that He could be among His children.  He chose to be a Man so that He could lead by example and show us the right path.   He chose to walk among HIs children so that He could tell them about the love of the Father.   St. Paul writes that Our Lord "made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."  (Philippians 2:5)  In other words, everything that you go through in life Our Lord has gone through as well.  Our Lord knows your pain.  Our Lord knows your sorrow.  He knows what it is liked to be hated and despised.  He knows what it is like to be mocked.  He knows what it is like to be tired  . . . to be sorrowful . . . . to be exhausted.  Our Lord loves us so much that He wanted to be with us, to walk among us, to share with us the joys, the sorrows which life has to offer.  Our Lord, as St Paul stated, humbled Himself to take the 'form of a servant.'  He came to serve and to show the Father's love.  As Christians, we are called to emulate Our Blessed Saviour.  We are called to humble ourselves.  We are called to serve our brothers and our sisters.  We are called to become obedient to God in all our ways  

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.
