Today's Season of Joy reflection on 1 Peter 5:5b-14 is by Fr. Jim Strzok, SJ.
Fr. James is an 82-year-old Jesuit, born in north central Wisconsin when the world was, in the words of poet E. E. Cummings, “Muddy luscious and puddle wonderful.” By training he is a chemist and physicist with higher degrees in earth sciences and ascetical theology. Most of his life he has been a teacher and missionary - 18 years among the Sioux Indians in South Dakota and then for 30 years, a missionary to E. Africa. He has worked among many indigenous people, which helped him understand and make the ecological conversion that Pope Francis calls us to.
from 1 Peter 5:5b-14
Beloved:
Clothe yourselves with humility
in your dealings with one another, for:
God opposes the proud
but bestows favor on the humble.
So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time.
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you...
