A Place To Grow
OZYMANDIAS
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Exposition and Confessions Saturday 11.15am
Luke 20, 27-38
This is another example of a debate between
Jesus and official religious teachers of the time. The Sadducees were
part of the Priestly caste in Israel. They insisted on following the
written law of Moses and rejected the growing belief in the
possibility of Resurrection
Maccabees 7, 1-14 Belief in a resurrection from the dead had been
developing in Israel over a couple of hundred years. This statement
of it from the time of the Maccabees comes in the context of the
brave martyrdom of seven brothers – creating a coincidental link to
the Gospel
2 Thessalonians 2, 16ss
Paul’s letters often include his prayer
for the community he is writing to. He thanks God for their faith and
prays that they will grow always stronger in their commitment to the
Lord
November is the month of memory, as we pray for those
