Archbishop Thabo Makgoba - St Faith’s Patronal Festival ‘Gratitude is the Heart of Thanksgiving’ Plumstead
5 October 2008
Readings:
Numbers 27:12-23 – Moses appoints Joshua to succeed him
Phil 3:12-21 – Pressing on towards the goal
Mt 21:33-43 – The parable of the vineyard and the tenants (Ingratitude!!)
May I speak in the name of the Lord, who does for us far more than we can ever ask or imagine.
Dear brothers and sisters of St Faiths, it is a great delight to be with you today on your Patronal Festival.
Though being an Archbishop as well as a Diocesan Bishop means that the Province is always making demands on my time; one of the joys of being in Cape Town is gradually getting to know the parishes and the people.
So I am particularly glad to be with you today.
