Fool Friday - Lent 27

 

Escaping Criticism by Pere Borrell del Caso.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:22

'The Fool', rather like the prince in 'The Silver Chair' by CS Lewis, can be hard to spot.  In the 2003 children's novel. 'City of Ember' by Jeanne DuPrau, the children are surrounded by a spiritual people who sing and smile, while the world about them falls.  The children use their brains, and intuition to get out of the place as it tumbles.  I see DuPrau taking a swipe at organised religion, with it's benign inaction.  We are all with these children in this story, as we are in the 'Silver Chair'.  You will know them by their actions.

PRAYER:  I will be your Fool.  Give me the wisdom I need.
