Following up unexpectedly on the post below, a pastoral colleaque sends me an e-mail (he's been sending them through Lent, to a lot of people), that tells me that he "caught a promo of a news item" about "a candle maker who was selling scented candles with the essence or smell of Jesus." Obviously: "One can not help but wonder what smell he put into the candle that is from Jesus," and, as my colleaque points out: "it sounds--at least on the surface--that there is one more person trying to get rich off Jesus. It sounds as if one more person forgot the lesson of the money changers in the temple. Prayerfully, we won't be among those who ... forget."
There is always a bottom, and at the bottom, someone with a shovel.
