Archbishop Thabo Makgoba - Patronal Festival – All Saints Roodebloom
8 November 2009
[They will be celebrating ‘All Saints’, even if a week late!]
Jer 31:31-34 – Good News Bible
Rev 7:2-4, 9-12 – Good News Bible
Matthew 5:1-12 – Jerusalem Bible
May I speak in the name of God, who calls us from every race, tribe, nation and language, and writes his law upon our hearts, so we may know him.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, dear people of God of All Saints Roodebloom, let me say again what a great joy it is to be with you as you celebrate your patronal festival.
As we celebrate the feast of All Saints, I sometimes regret that we do not all speak first century Greek!
