Colossians 1 12-14


…giving thanks
to the Father
who makes you fit to share the allotted portion
of the holy ones,
that is ‘in the light’
who rescues us from the dominion of darkness
and brings (us) over to the kingdom of the Son,
of his love,
in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.

Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen

St Anselm

  1. Allotted portion worries me As it suggests that it’s pre-ordained those that can respond to God so what happens to those not in the allotted portion? No answer in the various commentaries on this
