Echoing Thru The Centuries

Canon S45, f5.6, 1/636 sec

"Therefore I, the prisoner of Christ, invite you to live the vocation you have received. Be humble, kind, patient, and bear with one another in love.

"Make every effort to keep among you the unity of Spirit through bonds of peace. Let there be one body and one spirit, for God, in calling you, gave the same Spirit to all. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God, the Father of all, who is above all and works through all and is in all.

"But to each of us divice grace is given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it is said: When he ascended to the heights, he brought captives and gave his gifts to people.

"He ascended: This refers to the one who first descended to the dead in the lower parts of the world. He himself who went down, then ascended far above all the heavens to fill all things. As for his gifts, to some he gave to be apostles, to others prophets, or even evangelists, or pastors and teachers. So he prepared those who belong to him for the ministry, in order to build up the Body of Christ. Thus we shall become the perfect Man, upon reaching maturity and sharing the fullness of Christ."

EPHESIANS 4:1-13

"May the Father of Glory reveal Himself to you
and give you a spirit of wisdom,
that you may KNOW Him."
