Acts 17: 16: “While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was beholding the city full of idols.” We today are in a situation much like St. Paul, living in a society full of idols: money, greed, and most of all, self. The question is, does our spirit get provoked by these things, or do we get so used to them that we don’t give them a second thought? There is a higher way, a better life, available for those bound by these things; but we, like Paul, have to care enough to tell them about it.
