Matilda leads both Morning and Evening Prayer this week. Today’s Advent Morning Prayer – Matilda considers a passage from Matthew’s gospel, chapter 23, verses 1 to 12. This scripture contemplates Jesus’ relationship with his followers and disciples and his view of the scribes and Pharisees he encountered; “…’you have one teacher, and you are all students. And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father—the one in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.'”
