This Sunday, the 8th after Pentecost, brings us an Epistle or first reading in the Vetus Ordo, the Traditional Latin Mass, from the Apostle to the Gentiles’ Letter to the Romans 8: 12-17. We have already seen some context for Romans in previous offerings. We have already had a look into a possible thematic flow…
