Lenten Meditation - March 28, 2006

One deception alone is praiseworthy: that which allows us to hide the evil done to us, our suffering, and the deep place in the soul that belongs to God alone; the deception that, without hiding what we are, does not reveal us in our entirety, and does not exhaust our reserve of charity, energy, and kindness.
