Welcome to St Wilfrid's Parish in the Heart of Preston
Welcome to St Wildrid's
5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
‘A city set on a hill cannot be hidden’
Today’s readings encourage us to be bold in our actions.
When we share and welcome those in need, and protect that which builds loving community, we bring God’s light into dark places, lifting the gloom of isolation (First Reading).
The Psalmist says that those who imitate God’s light will be remembered and honoured forever.
For St Paul, knowledge of Christ crucified was everything – it was the light for his way, and revealed how the power of the Spirit was at work in the world (Second Reading).
The Gospel reminds us that, in service of the Kingdom, our good works cannot and should not be hidden. By our acts of loving service, we live as salt; by our faithful trust in God’s love, we live as light. And all so that God might be glorified.
Let’s pray that our coming week might be full of good works, and that through them, God’s glory might be revealed.
(With thanks to St Beuno's Outreach)
