By our own words we are hung!

My husband was talking to the children on the way to Mass one day when they were younger. He was saying that in the last century, the saints God has sent us have been humble, uneducated people like the Cure d’Ars, Solanus Casey, Joseph of Cupertino, etc. He said that education has come to be a god many people worship. God, in turn, shows us that simplicity reaches God more quickly than educated, well-thought out justifications for what we do. Did it sink in? One son came back with, "So why do we have so much school work?"
