Those who had witnessed Jesus raising the widow’s son in today’s gospel conclude that “God has visited his people.” Fr Jim points out that God is always visiting his people – no less now that in the time of Jesus or Moses or Abraham. How, Fr Jim wonders, will we respond to God’s visit to us today?
A bishop must be irreproachable, married only once, temperate, self-controlled, decent, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not aggressive, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money.
1 TM 3:1-13
“God has visited his people.”
LK 7:11-17
