Letter to the Galatians

3,22-29.

]Brothers and sisters: Scripture confined all things under the power of sin, that through faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.
]Before faith came, we were held in custody under law, confined for the faith that was to be revealed.
]Consequently, the law was our disciplinarian for Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
]But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a disciplinarian.
]For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus.
]For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
]There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
]And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendant, heirs according to the promise.

Psalm

Psalms

]Sing to him, sing his praise,
proclaim all his wondrous deeds.
]Glory in his holy name;
rejoice, O hearts that seek the LORD!
]Look to the LORD in his strength;
seek to serve him constantly.
]Recall the wondrous deeds that he has wrought,
his portents, and the judgments he has uttered.
]You descendants of Abraham, his servants,
sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
]He, the LORD, is our God;
throughout the earth his judgments prevail.

St. Edward the Confessor(King († 1066))

SAINT EDWARD THE CONFESSOR( 1066) At 40 years old, St. Edward became the king of England. For 27 years before that, he lived in exile. After his coronation, his virtues edified others: simplicity, gentleness, humility and purity. St. Edward saw that human souls are infinite in value. Once, when he saw a servant robbing his treasury, he let the servant escape - undoubtedly correcting the latter in private. He would stand at his palace gate to speak with beggars and lepers. He also healed many diseases, often spiritual. In years prior, long wars had dragged down England's economy. Through St. Edward's laws, many institutions were reformed. There was peace, prosperity andsocial equity during his 24-year reign. His most renowned work is Westminster Abbey. He passed away on January 5, 1066. The Norman Conquest of England ensued after St. Edward's passing. Most of the ruling English aristocrats were replaced by Norman administrators. Nonetheless, England's courts, justice system and institutions continued functioning - preserving the Christian traditions and culture that shaped modern Europe.
