Second
Sunday in Lent
Obstacles
and
Gratitude
At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from
here, for Herod wants to kill you." He said to them, "Go and tell
that fox for me, 'Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today
and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and
the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be
killed outside of Jerusalem.' Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the
prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to
gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and
you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will
not see me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is the one who comes in
the name of the Lord.'"
Luke 13:31-35

It
is curious that physical courage
should
be so common in the world
and
moral courage so rare.

Every
advance in civilization has been denounced
as
unnatural while it was recent.

At
times our own light goes out and is
rekindled
by a spark from another person.
Each
of us has cause to think with deep gratitude
of
those who have lighted the flame within us.
