THE MOST HOLY TRINITY — Year C
*Alternate* Second Readings from Ephesians and Richard Rohr
A reading from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians
It is by grace that you are saved, through faith, not by anything of your own, but by a pure gift from God, and not by anything you have achieved. Nobody can claim the credit. You are God’s work of art.
A reading from Richard Rohr
I think grace, arising from God’s limitless love, is the central theme of the entire Bible. It is the divine Unmerited Generosity that is everywhere available, totally given, usually undetected as such, and often even undesired. This grace was defined even in the old Baltimore Catechism as “that which confers on our souls a new life, that is, a sharing in the life of God himself [sic].”
The word of God recorded in the letter of Paul to the Ephesians and the words of Richard Rohr.
