Live the Faith, Receive the Grace – Bishop Peter Ingham’s Lenten Pastoral Message 2012

Live the Faith, Receive the Grace – Bishop Peter Ingham’s Lenten Pastoral Message 2012 from Daniel Hopper on Vimeo.

Bishop Peter Ingham breaks open the Gospel for Sunday 19 February 2012 (Mark 2:1-12) where four people carrying a paralysed person, creatively and with determination, removed the roof and lowered their friend inside a house overcrowded with people who were listening to Jesus preach.

Like the stretcher bearers in the Gospel, Bishop Peter challenges us this Lent to live our Faith and receive the Grace that comes from God.
