Deuteronomy, Chapter 1, Verse 17
In
rendering judgment, do not consider who a person is; give ear to the lowly and
to the great alike, fearing no one,
for the judgment is God’s. Any case that is too difficult for you bring to me
and I will hear it.”
Deuteronomy is the last of the five books of Moses.
The book explains to the Israelites how to make a success of their life. To be
a success we must as General Paton said lead, follow, or get the hell out of
the way. After appointing Elders this was Moses advice to them; fear no one
except God.
The greatest of our church is that we when we are
troubled and don’t know what to do we can always approach Him in prayer and
seek the advice of his elders (Mary and the Saints) anywhere we are. If we
desire we may also approach our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and bring
any case that is too difficult for Him to hear and He will answer us. Likewise
we may approach a priest in confession or connect with a local parish spiritual
director. How great is our God that He does not abandon us. Furthermore there
is a multitude of great Catholic websites where there are elders of the church
who can assist us in our difficult moments.
Today's Saint is one elder of the Church that may provide us with consolation and direction in our journey with the Lord.
