Beloved:
First of all, I ask
that supplications, prayers,
petitions, and
thanksgivings be offered for everyone,
for kings and for all
in authority,
that we may lead a
quiet and tranquil life
in all devotion and
dignity.
This is good and
pleasing to God our savior,
who wills everyone to
be saved
and to come to
knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God.
There is also one
mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus,
who gave himself as
ransom for all.
This was the testimony
at the proper time.
For this I was
appointed preacher and Apostle
(I am speaking the
truth, I am not lying),
teacher of the
Gentiles in faith and truth.
It is my wish, then,
that in every place the men should pray,
lifting up holy hands,
without anger or argument.
May God bless you,
Fr. Robert Wojtek,
C.Ss.R.
