Written by G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), an English writer, philosopher, Christian apologist, and literary and art critic.
Yet He [Jesus] restrained something. I say it with reverence; there was in that shattering personality a thread that must be called shyness. There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray. There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth.
Prayer:
Today’s prayer is from the liturgy for the Fourth Sunday of Lent.
Good and gracious God, You are light for our eyes. Good and gracious God, You are the air we breathe. You give us the voice to speak and a joyful song to sing. You are, O Good and Gracious God, Our path to peace. Amen
