Devotion 6 (day 7) - Self-abasement

Woah! sounds grueling... self-abasement...

i find some of the old language and hectic rejection of self quite difficult to accept. is it that Thomas is a little too hard on the person, asking so much "self-abasement" - or is it that I am so well versed in our modern self-help culture, with it's 7 step programmes and methods of growing self-esteem etc etc etc..

is the spirit and heart of the prayer true - that we meet God on the journey down...?

...that death comes before resurrection?

midnight is where the day begins

(from a song by U2)
