Episode 74 -- Imitation of Christ III.36 -- Against the Vain Judgements of Men
Lectio et Oratio - A podcast by Fr Michael Eades of the Toronto Oratory
Categories:
We read about how vain the judgements of men are. Vain means empty, pointless, unreliable. We should want to be like St Paul and be all things to all men. We should want to please people in the Lord. But we cannot please everyone. We cannot avoid people thinking badly of us and speaking badly of us. There are times to be silent in the face of criticism and times to break silence. In all situations, our eyes must be on the Lord who has the power to save us and to defend us. He knows all things. He is to be trusted.
