Breaking - No Welsh Women Bishops

Under Ecclesiastical, Theology, Tradition By Peter Ould
10 Comments

      But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7, ESV) (Listen)

      Aber mit der Heimat
      geht man immer herum,
      durch die Welt, dort und dort
      Peter Handke

      No one could describe
      the Word of the Father;
      but when He took flesh from you,
      O Theotokos,
      He consented to be described,
      and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
      We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.
