The book of James, which I will be teaching from later this morning, is about
faith producing good works. The good works don’t produce the faith. The root of
faith is God’s grace. Faith is a gift from God and works are the fruit of that.
The two go hand in hand.
Prayer
is a part of the Christian faith---but we don’t stop there. Action follows in
ministry to others.
I
love the way this parochial school entry proclaimed that idea.
Ora
et Labora---Latin for pray and work.
