God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Children need to learn how to do things which they do not want to do, when those things ought to be done. Older people have to do a great many things from a sense of duty. Unless children are trained to recognize duty as more binding than inclination, they will suffer all their lives through from their lack of discipline in this direction.
Here we commemorate the greatest and deepest demonstration of true love the world has ever known. For God looked down upon sorrowing, struggling, sinning humanity and was moved with compassion for the contrary, sheep-like creatures He had made. In spite of the tremendous personal cost it would entail to Himself to deliver them from their dilemma He chose deliberately to descend and live amongst them that He might deliver them. This meant laying aside His splendor, His position, His prerogatives as the perfect and faultless One. He knew He would be exposed to terrible privation, to ridicule, to false accusations, to rumor, gossip and malicious charges that branded Him as a glutton, drunkard, friend of sinners and even an imposter. It entailed losing His reputation. It would involve physical suffering, mental anguish and spiritual agony. In short, His coming to earth as the Christ, as Jesus of Nazareth, was a straightforward case of utter self-sacrifice that culminated in the cross of Calvary. The laid-down life, the poured-out blood were the supreme symbols of total selflessness. This was love. This was God. This was divinity in action, delivering men from their own utter selfishness, their own stupidity, their own suicidal instincts as lost sheep unable to help themselves.
BOUQUET GARNI
Heat the butter in a saucepan. When foaming subsides, but before it gets
brown add the leeks and celery and 1/4 cup of the chicken broth. Cover and
simmer over low heat for 5 minutes; do not let it get brown. Add the
chicken, skin side up along with bouquet garni and enough of the broth to
just cover the chicken. Cover and simmer, over very low heat for 30 minutes
or until chicken is just cooked through. Remove chicken from the broth;
remove and discard skin and bones and cut chicken into chunks. Remove and
discard bouquet garni.
Puree the liquid through a food mill and return it to the saucepan. Add
remaining broth and boil it down until reduced to 4 cups. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice to chicken and set in microwavable
dish.
Blend egg yolks and cream together. Very slowly ladle 1 cup of hot broth
into the mixture. Return this tempered mixture to the soup and bring to
under a simmer to thicken. Reheat chicken for a minute in microwave oven
and distribute it among 4 soup plates. Ladle thickened broth over chicken
and garnish with parsley. Serve over boiled potatoes or with bread
