#23 Bold Confession By the Persecuted Gives Joy to the Christian

Oh, how I have been carried away and how I overflowed with words! It is due to my faith in Christ which thus gave vent to my joy over your faith and bold confession.  John also had to leap in his mother’s womb when Christ came to him.  Thus you see him coming to me through your letter. I hope to God that he will also come to you through this missive of mine and fill not only your John but also Elizabeth and the entire house with joy and spirit, and remain with you not just for three months but forever. May God the Father of all mercy grant that. Amen.  (Luther’s Works, v.43, p.69)

 

 

Catechesis on Palmarum 2018 (St. Matthew 26:1-27:54)

On Wednesday nights, Trinity Lutheran Church(Herrin, IL) offers to both children and adults an opportunity for teaching with Learn-by-Heart at 6:30 PM and a catechetical service at 7:00.

In this video from March 21, 2018, we learned stanzas 2-3 of “alas! And Did My Savior Bleed” (Lutheran Worship, #97), questions 10-16 of the Christian Questions with their Answers from Luther’s Small Catechism.  This service is designed to prepare God’s people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service.  The dialog sermon explains The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ (St. Matthew 26-27), which is the Holy Gospel for Palm Sunday.

The service concludes with “Responsive Prayer for Catechesis” (pdf link below).
