A Man May Stand For The Justice

I Feel It Is Time That I Also Pay Tribute To My Four Writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke And John.

Modern Man Has So Long Preached A Doctrine Of False Tolerance; He Has So Long Believed That Right And Wrong Were Only Differences In A Point Of View, That Now When Evil Works Itself Out In Practice He Is Paralyzed To Do Anything Against It.

Love Burdens Itself With The Wants And Woes And Losses And Even The Wrongs Of Others.

Not Only Were The Jews Expecting The Birth Of A Great King, A Wise Man And A Saviour, But Plato And Socrates Also Spoke Of The Logos And Of The Universal Wise Man 'yet To Come'. Confucius Spoke Of 'the Saint'; The Sibyls, Of A 'universal King'; The Greek Dramatist, Of A Saviour And Redeemer To Unloose Man From The 'primal Eldest Curse'. All These Were On The Gentile Side Of The Expectation. What Separates Christ From All Men Is That First He Was Expected; Even The Gentiles Had A Longing For A Deliverer, Or Redeemer. This Fact Alone Distinguishes Him From All Other Religious Leaders.

We Can Think Of Lent As A Time To Eradicate Evil Or Cultivate Virtue, A Time To Pull Up Weeds Or To Plant Good Seeds. Which Is Better Is Clear, For The Christian Ideal Is Always Positive Rather Than Negative. A Person Is Great Not By The Ferocity Of His Hatred Of Evil, But By The Intensity Of His Love For God. Asceticism And Mortification Are Not The Ends Of A Christian Life; They Are Only The Means. The End Is Charity. Penance Merely Makes An Opening In Our Ego In Which The Light Of God Can Pour. As We Deflate Ourselves, God Fills Us. And It Is God’s Arrival That Is The Important Event.
