***9 For we are Gods coadjutors.*** Merriam Webster says: Main Entry: co·ad·ju·tor Pronunciation: \ˌkō-ə-ˈjü-tər, kō-ˈa-jə-tər\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English coadjutour, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin coadjutor, from Latin co- + adjutor helper, from adjuvare to help more at aid Date: 15th century 1 : one who works together with another : assistant 2 : a bishop assisting a diocesan bishop and often having the right of succession So we have a 15th century word that describes what St. Paul is saying. An assistant. The Reformers of course had no problem with St. Paul describing himself and others as working together with God in order to do. The descendents of the Reformers gradually removed that ability from Mary and the saints. ***8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.*** Oh that foolish St. Paul, advocating works. I think that Saint Calvin oughta spank him right through tomorrow.

(I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)

Whether John Calvin or Pope or Bishop or Deacon we all can be a little foolish.. Humility is a virtue.. and gratitude is indeed awareness.. for eating his word(s) as manna and painting his blood on the doorposts of our heart is wisdom..
