Thus says the Lord: Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, "We will not walk in it."
Ah, the humanity! One of the first words we learn to say is, "No!" Anyone who has been around a two-year-old has seen this, and, in some sense, we carry that two-year-old within us until we join the Church Triumphant. We substitute ritual for obedience. That's the bad news.
The good news is the ancient paths are there, and God sends us sentinels to point the way; all we have to do is ask, listen, when we stand at the crossorads. There will be, as we walk to Jerusalem, rest for our souls.
