Power seeks to call the impotent

The Roman Catholic Lectionary today reminds us that “the wisdom of this world is folly with God” (1 Cor 3: 19). Paul exhorts those who claim to be with human leaders should consider the place of all as members of Christ. This life with Christ makes folly of the mere human associations which we seem to which we seem to cling relentlessly. The psalmist advises that the pure of heart and those without evil in their hands will be able to be comforted in the Divine Presence. Jesus calls His followers with actions which reveal the impotence of human action and the call is offered even to these who are pitifully weak. Our power is insignificant. We follow and are open to be agents of Divine action.
