From the Morning Office:
See how the wicked prowl on every side,
while the worthless are prized highly by the sons of men. (Psalm 12)
As I read these words my mind's eye saw the magazine covers on display at the supermarket check-out and the TV tabloid shows, so much of which "prize highly the worthless." We are surrounded by the vanity of the City of Man.
Morning Prayer then offers:
Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
The [one] ....who desires not worthless things. (Psalm 24)
What do we "prize?" Our Lord says, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Lu 12:34).
