There will be no reflection on Saturday, October 17.
Jesus was tempted by Satan and ministered to by angels.
See that as an icon:
By going through life blissfully ignoring the fact that we are being
lured by Satan, we also blot out the reality that we are being ministered to by
angels.
Gratitude and awe can be strong defenses against
insidious pride. Humble Gratitude recognizes that something has been given, not
earned. Awe recognizes the greatness of both gift and Giver and puts a man in
his proper place: “Who is man that thou should care for him?”
We don’t sing because we have beautiful voices we want to
show off. We sing because the singing itself cleanses us and touches our own
souls in ways that words cannot. We sing because we have grown tired of not
singing, of standing idly by while others seem to be enjoying themselves.
