Anskar (801-865) Archbishop of Hamburg and Missionary to Denmark and Sweden





The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness     
                           and self-control 






If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided  by the Spirit.       Galations 5:22,25   
                         Anskar’s missionary efforts totally tanked in his lifetime - they didn't bear fruit for a 100 years. But I'm grateful for his life and example and for his collect: "Keep your Church stedfast in the day of little things,  knowing that when you begin a goo work, you will bring it to a fruitful conclusion” - even if we may not see it.
