"Only the humble believe in Him and rejoice that God is so free and so marvelous that He does wonders where people despair, that He takes what is little and lowly and makes it marvelous. And that is the wonder of all wonders, that God loves the lowly. God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God marches right in. He chooses people as his instruments and performs his wonders where one would least expect them. God is near to lowliness; He loves the lost, the neglected, the unseemly, the excluded, the weak, and the broken.
In the Incarnation the whole human race recovers the dignity of the image of God. Thereafter, any attack, even on the least of men, is an attack on Christ, who took on the form of man, and in his own Person restored the image of God in all. Through our relationship with the Incarnation, we recover our true humanity, and at the same time are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and recover our solidarity with all mankind."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"The things that we love tell us what we are."
Thomas Aquinas
"He has shown you what is good. The Lord requires you to act justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."
Micah 6:8
Interesting if somewhat sleepy day in the markets.
The VIX was higher, along with gold and silver.
The Dollar was pretty much unchanged.
Big cap techs were in vogue, with the NDX gaining.
But the rest of the stocks were off a bit in aggregate.
The election is drawing near in the US. And that means an end to slimy political ads. Yay.
Have a pleasant evening.
