Lent
On prayer for the fragility of life
from "Incarnate Love" in The Christian Moral Life
by Timothy F. Sedgewick
 The dynamics of idolatry arise out of the experience of change. Our experience of change is an experience of the fragility of what we love and the fragility of our own lives. Ultimately all things pass away. To love inordinately is to cling to something, to hold on, to seek to preserve and extend some thing or things beyond the ravages of time. We love inordinately because we love so much and cannot accept that what we love will perish. What we love is not idolatrous because it is evil. What we love is good.What is evil is our loving inordinately because we cannot accept the good for what it is -- finite, fragile, and always perishing. What is evil is attempting to make the particular goods of life into God, into what is absolute, enduring, and never changing.
