This important sermon discusses what St Paul calls "walking in newness of life" (Romans 6:4)
Starting with Apostolic Succession and moving into our personal lives, Fr. John Brian enhances understanding of our spiritual genealogy.
"We walk in newness of life. " says Fr. John Brian, "as though we have been resurrected from the dead."
This sermon discusses how we can do this walk or as Fr John Brian puts it:
"Rather than a lump of was without a wick, each of us has a wick in the core of us to be lit... We have always been part of the truth and reality of God - that newness of life - the activity of being-ness."
Fr. John Brian closes with insight into Matthew 11:28-30" Come to me [says Jesus] all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest... for my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Fr. John-Brian continues to speak to our further spiritual development.
Please pray for Fr. John Brian who remains committed to us in the continuing development of Christian Spirituality.
