Since we in the modern world think of prudence as “exercising excessive caution” rather than, as the classical understanding of the virtue of prudence would have dictated, “making the right moral judgment,” it is difficult to call willingness to undergo martyrdom for Jesus Christ a “prudent” act.

When the Trump administration’s clarifying guidelines go to court, they not only should be upheld.

“Community” is a buzzword, but it is also a reality. What we must not forget is that our community stretches back to include Abraham and his descendants. We are involved in something far bigger, older, and deeper than ourselves, and bigger, older, and deeper even than our parish communities. The parish church anchors its reality in the meeting tent of Moses and David, in the temple of worship of Jesus’ day. When we enter into our common prayer, our Eucharist, we are in the Holy of Holies surrounded by a cloud of witnesses (Heb. 12:1). God is our loving Father, as Jesus taught, and the Son of God is not only our Lord but also our friend. And so, too, is God our friend. Yet true friendship with God must develop along lines of God’s choosing, not of our choosing. And those lines are laid out in the stories, songs, and prayers of His chosen people as set down for us by the divinely inspired Jewish writing.”
