Evening: Psalm 111, 112, 113; Matthew 15:21-28
Today is the Círio de Nazaré – a small statue of Mary is carried through the streets, followed by nearly 2 million people! Some people (mainly Protestant Christians) condemn this procession as a form of idolatry. I actually believe it is a pure-hearted devotion of people to all that Mary represents – humility and openness to God’s will. The Pharisees were ready to condemn those who did what they didn’t agree with … Jesus called them ‘blind guides’. Question: Are there judgments or prejudices you hold that prevent you from accepting the sincerity of any other human being?
