Reforma�on Sunday |||| October 30, 2016

Today on Reformation Sunday we remember the motto of the

Reformers Ecclesia semper reformanda – the church is always in

need of reforming. This is our challenge as communities of faith -

to become more like Jesus each day. This coming Monday on

October 31st Pope Francis will travel to Lund, Sweden and meet

with the World Lutheran Federation to officially

open the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation.

Earlier this year Pope Francis said this :

The intentions of Martin Luther were not mistaken. He was a reformer.

In his time, the Church was not exactly a model to imitate.

There was corruption in the Church, there was worldliness,

attachment to money, to power - and this he protested.

And today Lutherans and Catholics, Protestants, all of us agree

on the doctrine of justification. On this point, which is very important,

he did not err. He gave us a medicine for the Church.

(Pope Francis, June 26th, 2016)

Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the teaching

of our God, you people of Gomorrah! What to me is the multitude of

your sacrifices? says the L456; I have had enough of burnt offerings of

rams and the fat of fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or

of lambs, or of goats. When you come to appear before me, who asked

this from your hand? Trample my courts no more; bringing offerings is

futile; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath and

calling of convocation— I cannot endure solemn assemblies with

iniquity. Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates;

they have become a burden to me, I am weary of bearing them. When

you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though

you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your

doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek

justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the

widow. Come now, let us argue it out, says the L456: though your sins

are like scarlet, they shall be like snow; though they are red like

crimson, they shall become like wool.

Reader: The Word of the Lord.

Congregation: Thanks be to God.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God

our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God

our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We must always give thanks to

God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is

growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another

is increasing. Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches

of God for your steadfastness and faith during all your persecutions

and the afflictions that you are enduring. To this end we always pray

for you, asking that our God will make you worthy of his call and will

fulfill by his power every good resolve and work of faith, so that the

name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him,

according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

HHHHOLYOLYOLYOLY GGGGOSPELOSPELOSPELOSPEL Luke 19:1-10

He entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named

Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying to

see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because

he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree

to see him, because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came

to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come

down; for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried down and

was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said,

“He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.” Zacchaeus stood

there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will

give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay

back four times as much.” Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has

come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of

Man came to seek out and to save the lost.”
