"Loving Instead Of Judging"

09/03/2026

Phoebe appears once in Paul’s letter to the Romans, where she is referred to as both a deacon in the church and a benefactor of Paul and others. It is unknown what other impact she had in the early church, but she is an example of the many early workers who supported Paul in the spreading of the Gospel. We may often think that Paul did it all himself, or at least with the help of only a few of the more prominent individuals such as Luke. But the brief mention of Phoebe gives us an example of the many women and men whose calling was to work faithfully in the background to ensure that the gospel would spread throughout the world.
Eternal God, who raised up Phoebe as a deacon in your church and minister of your Gospel; Grant us that same grace that, assisted by her prayers and example, we too may take the Gospel to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
