[Salvation]

From today's Mass:

Rom 15:4-9

Reading 2

Brothers and sisters:
Whatever was written previously was written for our instruction,
that by endurance and by the encouragement of the Scriptures
we might have hope.
May the God of endurance and encouragement
grant you to think in harmony with one another,
in keeping with Christ Jesus,
that with one accord you may with one voice
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you,
for the glory of God.
For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised
to show God’s truthfulness,
to confirm the promises to the patriarchs,
but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy.
As it is written:
Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles
and sing praises to your name.

Beautiful Scriptures....

;-)))

Yes, and that was beautiful. If you read a little further along, you will find that in Rom. 15:19 Paul speaks of having fully preached the gospel of Christ. He also wrote in Rom. 2:16 that "God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my (Paul's) gospel".

Have you ever been taught what that gospel he refers to is, in your Mass? It's pretty important, being that Paul's gospel will be the one used to judge men.
