In some countries a form of religious-cultural nationalism is back in vogue. Religion is exploited both to obtain popular support and to launch a political message that is identified with people’s loyalty and devotion to a nation.[1] It is taken for granted that people have in religion a common identity, origin and history, and that these support an ideological, cultural and religious homogeneity that is strengthened by geopolitical boundaries.
John the Baptist - Nativity - Jun 24th
The
Lord called me: You are my servant.
This is the second of the four “servant
songs” in Isaiah. (Isaiah 40-50).
These
songs exalt the perfect Israelite, whose suffering saves many people. (Isaiah
53: ii). In
one sense, the songs apply to Israel and to all of its great leaders; but in
another sense, they apply ultimately and uniquely to Jesus alone. (Acts
3:13,26)

be always be with you. R/ And also with you.
