This weekend, August 30th & 31st scripture reading introductions:
First Reading: Jeremiah 20:7-9
Jeremiah often anguished over the difficulty in being a prophet. Proclaiming God’s message made him very unpopular. Today we hear why he still felt compelled to do it.
Second Reading: Romans 12:1-2
Toward the end of Paul’s letter to the Romans, he deals with the moral demands made on those who follow Christ. In today’s reading, Paul reminds us that living a Christian life – which so often includes sacrifice – is like an act of liturgical worship in which we offer ourselves to God.
