Sunday Sermon, March 3rd - The First Cleansing of the Temple, and the Danger of Anger

 St John tells us of many events which occurred during the first year and a half of Jesus' public ministry - from the time of the fasting in the desert up to the arrest of John the Baptist. These events are not contained in the other three Gospels.

We discuss the first time in which Jesus cleansed the Temple, and point out how different this was from the second cleansing of the Temple at the very end of Jesus' life. 

We also speak of why we should not give in to the passion of anger - even though Jesus was angry in a perfectly virtuous way, we are not so perfect and the emotion of anger is too dangerous for us!
