God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The height of devotion is reached when reverence and contemplation produce passionate worship, which in turn breaks forth in thanksgiving and praise in word and song.
As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually. When Paul talked about making his body his slave, so that after having preached to others he himself would not be disqualified, he was not thinking about physical disqualification, but spiritual. He knew well that physical softness inevitably leads to spiritual softness. When the body is pampered and indulged, the instincts and passions of the body tend to get the upper hand and dominate our thoughts and actions. We tend to do not what we should do, but what we want to do, as we follow the craving of our sinful nature.
Clean and slice the fennel bulb, reserving any greens for garnish. Cook the
fennel in the stock with the garlic and shallots until soft. Puree in a
blender with the lemon juice and zest, and the spices. Strain the puree if
you wish a smoother texture. Combine well with the yogurt and chill. Serve
garnished with chopped fennel greens or chopped coriander.
Serves six.
