Questions to Ponder

How have you responded to these temptations mentioned in yesterday's reading in your own life? Do you give things instead of giving yourself, your presence, your personal involvement?

Do you save your best for the workplace?

Do you deliver lectures rather than earning respect by listening and learning?

Do you demand perfection from those under your roof?

Do you try to find intimate fulfillment outside the bonds of monogamy?

Do you cultivate your family's spiritual appetite?
