1 Corinthians 1:1-9; Ps 145; Matthew 24:42-51

Stay awake

Paul will often greet his readers with the salutation of “grace and peace”: God’s free gift of divine life and one of the results of that gift. In serving God and our neighbour we are able to spread grace and peace – and we learn that we best serve by being ready, by being faithful and wise; recalling God’s abundant goodness.
