Epaenetus, Mary, Andronicus, Junia, Ampliatus
Paul greets Epaenetus, the firstfruits of conversions in Asia. Do we pray for conversions? Mary worked hard. Does what we do please the Lord? Andronicus and Junia were fellow prisoners with Paul. Common experiences bind us together. Ampliatus may or may not be buried in the catacombs in Rome. The Christian symbols here show that these people had hope of resurrection. Is that our hope?
