Canon S45

"I could not, friends, speak to you as spiritual persons but as fleshly people, for you are still infants in Christ. I gave you milk and not solid food, for you were not ready for it and up to now you cnnot receive it for you are still of the flesh. As long as there is jealousy and strife, what can I say but that you are at the level of the flesh and behave like ordinary people.

"While one says: 'I follow Paul,' and the other: 'I follow Apollos,' what are you but people still at a human level?

"For what is Apollos? What is Paul? They are ministers and through them you believed, as it was given by the Lord to each of them. I planted, Apollos watered the plant, but God made it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who makes the plant grow.

"The one who plants and the one who waters work to the same end, and the Lord will pay each according to their work. We are fellow-workers with God, but you are God's field and building."

1 CORINTHIANS 3:1-9

"Lord, we pray for our priests, today.
Minister to their humanity, O Lord, and grant them the grace
to go beyond their weaknesses
and strive only for Your glory."
