a few words

2 kings 17:5-8,13-15,18; Ps 60 Help us with your right hand O Lord, and answer us; Mt 7:1-5

A quote from George Orwell
"Never use a long word where a short one will do."


This is a good quote and would be appropriate for homilies and sermons as well.  Never preach a long homily where a short one will do. 


Never give a long reflection where a short one will do. 


So here it is for today, the words of Christ from the Gospel, 


"...The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you."


From his lips to your ears. Jesus said it, you heard it, now live it. 


What is your measure?  


How does it compare to the measuring of Christ?
