2020 – Septuagesima – Run that ye may obtain
The Epistle text describes the Christian life as a race to obtain a prize that will never fade: Jesus Christ himself. Fr. Oldfield explores the need to cultivate the grace-empowered virtues of temperance and self-discipline as we run the race looking to Jesus the author and finisher of the our Faith.
