Today’s Lenten reflections reminds us that name-calling can easily denigrate, degrade and debase; this is an evil work, the work of Satan (the Accuser of the Brethren). Thus was Jesus tempted/tested in the wilderness by Satan/The Accuser. May we have grace to listen to those who affirm, and may we have grace to share in this holy ministry.
