Temple: hope in the Spirit

Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944
Meditation:
For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.”
—Romans 15:8-9 (ESV)

Quotation:
There is no hope of establishing a more Christian social order except through the labour and sacrifice of those in whom the Spirit of Christ is active.

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, make me an instrument of Your will for my society.
