A well written message and a narration which is clear and concise. When I attend mass, the homily is not always on point, with references to a myriad of subjects and time frames of old. I like our priests to talk as if they are personally addressing me. Not for selfishness I ask this, but to help correlate their reason how I can feel stronger in my faith, and how to deal with our current divisive culture. John Gough
Sometimes humility is really laziness to use God's gifts that He gives each of us, like burying the single coin instead of doubling it with our work, or like the 5 virgins who did not have oil for their lamps before the arrival of the bridegroom. At the other extreme one can also get one's head-full of ourselves, pride, and produce something of great material value, but for the purpose of a selfish fortune and for worldly self-centered aggrandizement.
I didn't know about the painting in the Louvre of the 2 sisters. I like the comparison of the 2 sisters, and the needed balance. I learned something.
