Jesus indicates that the way to think about self-denial is to deny yourself only a lesser good for a greater good… In other words, Jesus wants us to think about sacrifice in a way that rules our all self-pity. This is, in fact, just what the texts on self-denial teach (Mk. 8:34-35)… Saint Augustine captured the paradox in these words, “If you love your soul, there is a danger of its being destroyed. Therefore you may not love it, since you do not want it to be destroyed. But in not wanting it to be destroyed you love it.”
Sift together flour and salt. Work butter in a bowl until creamy; add honey
and beat until well blended. Add almond extract. Gradually add sifted dry
ingredients, beating well after each addition. Stir in nuts. Cover and
chill about 1 hour. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough
into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets about 1-1/2 inches
apart. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Roll cookies in
confectioner's sugar while still warm, and again when cooled. Makes about 7
dozen cookies.
