Scripture Chapters for February - March:
My Brother Knights, please read the following scripture passages and then answer the questions that follow:
Proverbs 26: 4 - 5
(4) “Do not answer fools according to their folly, lest you too become like them.”
(5) “Answer fools according to their folly, lest they become wise in their own eyes.”
Questions:
1. Though these two proverbs appear contradictory on the surface, to what do they apply?
2. In certain contexts, how do the wise do well to avoid conversations with fools?
3. In other contexts, such as when fools appear intelligent and sophisticated, what should the wise do?
For Verse 4
1. What do the cardinal virtues have to do with engaging in criticism of others?
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church ref. 1805:
“Four virtues play a pivotal role and accordingly are called “cardinal”, all the others are grouped around them. They are: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. “If anyone loves righteousness, her (Wisdom’s) labors are virtues; for she teaches temperance and prudence, justice, and courage. These virtues are praised under other names in many passages of Scripture.”
For Verse 5
When you find a conversation turning toward criticism of someone else and you believe that the speakers are wrong, what should be your response be and how should you respond?
Respect Life Prayer
Dear God,
We see life cheapened every day through abortion and other forms of abuse, through terrorism, and other acts of violence, and through neglect of children, the poor, and the elderly.
In a world of plenty, we can forget that there is nothing more precious than human life.
Give us the grace to see how we can make a difference, and encourage change in our culture.
Inspire us with the stories of Mary and other mothers of unexpected pregnancies, who knew that every child is a gift of God's grace and is wanted by you in this world.
Encourage conviction in the hearts of those who do not yet know or understand that a desire for choice is no reason to end any life and that you desire that all life come only to a natural end in you.
Amen.
