We also need to blame the murderers instead of awarding credit.—Mary Ann McGivern  “The heart of the just one is firm, trusting in the Lord” (Psalm 12: (see 7c).  Tell it like it is, murder.  Trust in the Lord.  “Where are your virtuous acts?  See! Your true character is finally showing itself!”  What a thing for a spouse to charge.  Where is the Church in all of this!  What Church hierarch is saying not credit, but murder?  Fat chance of hearing anything like that from the altar this morning.  It is one thing to be “firm, trusting in the Lord.”  It is something else to be self-righteous, prattling on and on about how sanctimonious one is.  “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man (hierarchs and minions) . . . teach the way of God in accordance with the truth” and the truth is murder, not credit.  The altar silence is deafening.  Liturgy of the Word, Reading 354, Tuesday of the Ninth Week of Easter I.
