All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. God is our merciful Father and the
source of all comfort. “He comforts us in all our
troubles so that we can comfort others. When
they are troubled, we will be able to give them
the same comfort God has given Us.

“BUT THE ONE WHO DID NOT KNOW. AND DID
WHAT DESERVED A BEATING, WILL RECEIVE A
LIGHT BEATING. EVERYONE TO WHOM MUCH
WAS GIVEN, OF HIM MUCH WILL BE REQUIRED, X
AND FROM HIM TO WHOM THEY ENTRUSTED
MUCH, THEY WILL DEMAND THE MORE.”
LUKE 12:48
