Come and join us at 10.30 a.m. on 25 February as we celebrate the promise made by God to Abraham, 'the ancestor of a multitude of nations' (Genesis 17). St Paul takes up this theme in his letter to the Romans: 'The promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham....through the law, but through the righteousness of faith'. Jesus refers to the righteousness of faith in the gospel of Mark chapter 8, when he teaches the disciples that he must undergo great suffering and death, and that he will come 'in the glory of his father with the holy angels.'
