There is a conjunction of readings that have occurred this day. In this place, we follow the helpful and ancient tradition of keeping the appointed Sunday readings whenever a minor feast, festival, or commemoration appears on a Sunday. That helps all of us hold fast to the rhythm of this part of Trinity-tide, whose Sunday texts reinforce us for Christian endurance in the Faith. For more, click on the title above.

GOD SHOWS NO PARTIALITY IN ELECTING HIS PEOPLE
This is, as most of you know, the time of year which emphasizes endurance in the Faith. Behind that theme lies this Sunday’s Old Testament reading. It reveals the way God grants the Faith to people, and how He sustains them in the Faith. The Word for the day truly reveals that God shows no partiality in electing His people. Our short Old Testament reading is so divinely important that it, in the Greek language of the Scriptures, it is quoted directly, or strongly alluded to, fourteen times in the New Testament. The same Holy Spirit who inspired Moses to record our words from Deuteronomy moved Saints John, Luke, Mark, and Paul to quote it often.
