Evening: Psalms 77, 79; Joel 1:1-13; Matthew 15:1-20
On Remembrance Day, how do you honour those who stood against evil as they understood it? Remembering is a good start. Silence helps. Yet, if I dutifully attend the Cenotaph today, participate in acts of Remembrance, and then go home and mistreat my spouse or children, or pursue a path that is destructive to myself or others, my morning rituals were empty. Jesus taught that we sometimes attend to external priorities while forgetting important matters of the heart. To honour the souls I remember today, I must resist evil with my own life, and with all my heart pursue peace.
