Antiphon: Psalm 5
I
make
my
morning
prayer
to you;
for you,
O Lord, will hear my voice.
What I love about this story is that Philip
was just going about his daily business and
then his business became explaining Scrip-
tureto the Ethiopian, at his request, and then
baptizing him at his insistence and then
Philip
continues
on… as
does the
nameless
Ethiopian,
known only
by this condition of being a eunuch Being a mem-
ber (no pun intended .. at least at first!) of the royal
count, he may well have ben the first to bring
faith in Jesus to Ethiopia.
Holy God, no one
is excluded from your love
and your truth transforms
the minds of all who seek you…
Give us all grace to be heralds of
the Gospel… Collect for St Philip's Day
