We are blessed

It is a little tempting to review the beautiful and simple homily from the preaching at the Rite I mass this morning - the meaning of the book of Philemon, practical examples of how to live a Christian life: The example of "radical reconciliation" (Saint Paul); the example of "radical trust" (Onesimus); and the example of "radical grace" (Philemon).

However, the Psalms, as always, provide the overarching theme for the day:

"But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever on those who fear him..." (Psalm 103:17)
