Canon Michael's homily for today - Thursday, 5th Week of Lent
Today we hear about the great Patriarch Abraham our father in Faith. Abraham is mentioned as such in the first Eucharistic prayer. We are living in troubled times. The closing of our churches is very hard to take. Instinctively we know there is something wrong about it. The church is the House of God, the place of refuge our family home. Yes, my faith is challenged.
Abraham has always impressed me for he truly is "The man of Faith in the bible". He was asked to sacrifice his only son and he was prepared to do so. His Faith was tested. We have been asked to sacrifice the practise and habits of our Faith. It is hard. However, if we trust like Abraham our faith will be rewarded.
May the God of Abraham bless us all.
