It is Sunday. Walt will spare you the homily, but will give you a text to think about during the Prayers of the Faithful.
We fondly think that we have made progress from that first eventful day in Nod, but...man himself can never hope to improve upon his own lot. He is still a frustrated though shaven ape, charging about the earth trying to evade the curse of Cain and to secure forgetfulness and peace of mind; yet he vents his lust for retail or wholesale murder upon his fellows and prays in public for peace on earth, good will to men.
The author is Dr. Josesph H. Peck, a medical doctor, not a doctor of theology. But that doesn't make his insight wrong.
