Tuesday of Week 14 in Ordinary Time

They have set up Kings.
But not with my consent.
They will not take to wings.
Their salvation will not be sent.Out of their own silver and gold.
They have made idols.
Their soul is sold.
They will receive no spiritual medals.

But how often do we set up false idols.
Not anything physical but in our mind.
We neither will receive our spiritual medals.
Neither to others nor ourself are we kind.

Those who set up any sort of false calf.
Have not walked with a spiritual staff.

…….

We have set up kings.
In our mind without consent
And so we are judged

……..

See Hosea 8
