The daily grind and desire to keep people happy wore Soloman down, it seems. Maintaining the support of businessmen and keeping his many foreign wives content, the King became distracted. Politics failed God. Perhaps a separation of Church and State and giving unto Caesar what is Caesar's are good things because water and oil cannot be mixed. One must choose. Hence too, the danger of wealth accumulated.
So many distractions from the Truth. The Light shines eternally, but we create the clouds and eclipses. Today we read about the gentile woman who banters with Christ, suggesting that even dogs eat while the family eats. Even the unclean need nourishment. Even dogs at the table of the Lord can be fed on His scraps.
Let those who have ears, hear. Chosen people or dog, being human can be a challenge if one doesn't choose to remain wallowing in politics, wealth, power, status, lusts and other sundry preoccupations of the Self. Being human, we can choose to love God, neighbour and our selves. The only challenge mankind repeated faces is which direction shall we choose? Shall we live in a City of Pigs or a City of God?
Oremus:
I pray that each person chooses for love, that together society can choose for love and that on one day we are all united in love. Paradise restored and united with God, mankind at peace, knowing no fear, knowing no doubt. I pray for the wisdom and strength to begin with my Self, that being nourished on scrapes i can one day create a warm home with bountiful table that others may find rest and nourishment. Amen.
Deo gratias.
