Making a fool of oneself

Drunk! Wacko!

"How long will you make a drunken show of yourself? Sober up...!"

How often have you and I thought badly of particular people?

In today’s first reading (1 Samuel 1:9-20), a wise old man makes a snap judgment about someone and is proven to be terribly, terribly wrong: denouncing as a drunk a holy woman who is being powerfully blessed by God.

Let’s not be fools.

May you and I see as God sees.
