Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

The message that we hear from the Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans was carried on by the Church Fathers. St. John Chrysostom wrote; “Let us therefore continually give thanks for our own blessings, and for those of others, alike for the small and great. For the gift be small, it is made great by being God’s gift, or rather, there is nothing small that comes from Him, not only because it is bestowed by Him, but also in its very nature.” Whether our gifts be small or great, we have a responsibility to use them. In humility let us use the gifts and blessings given to us by the grace of God and use them in service to His Church, His people and as an expression of the love He has for us, and calls all of us to have for each other.” - Dn. Tim Mellor, July 12, 2026-
