Evening: Psalms 23, 27; John 7:1-13
Jesus says that the world hates, persecutes and even wants to kill him because he speaks the truth about its evil ways. St. Gregory of Nyssa (in about 380) wrote that a lie is “an illusion in the soul about what is unreal” and truth is “being free from error about the nature of reality.” Big Oil spends $200 million a year to propagate the illusion that human-caused climate change is unreal. Meanwhile, teenagers protest. Our society does not kill teenage prophets – ironically, we love our oil so much we believe the illusion that it’s not killing us!
