I can come in, too?

This Sunday we read the account of St. Philip sharing the Gospel with a Eunuch from Ethiopia. He had been in Jerusalem to worship God and was returning home, but his worship was from far off outside the temple for a multitude of reasons. Nevertheless he persists and desires to study the Scriptures for himself.

Philip meets him on the road, and tells him the best news he ever heard, the fulfillment of a promise which speaks to hopes of the hearts of all of us who stand far off, outside the Temple, longing to come inside.
