Archbishop Thabo Makgoba - Clergy and Layworkers’ Conference, Cape Town Diocese First Homily – Jesus and his Baptism
7 October 2008
Luke 10:38-42
Lord Jesus Christ, we come to sit at your feet, and listen. Open our ears to your words, open our minds to your message, and our hearts to your call – and help us to choose the better part. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ – fellow labourers in the vineyard that is the Diocese of Cape Town – I am very grateful to God for this opportunity to spend time with you, and particularly to be able to give the homilies this week.
Having been in Bishopscourt for six months, I am beginning to get a feel for the breadth of responsibilities across Province and Diocese, and how they fit together; and I am also beginning to get the feel of life within the Diocese of Cape Town.
