Scapegoating 🛑 A Sunday Thought

The man replied,
'It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, 
and I ate it'
It started long ago. Finding, every so often, a new victim upon which to pour out our accumulated guilt or shame, fear, anxiety or hostility.

When we’re feeling guilty or tense about something, it really does help to find someone else to project our anxieties upon and to make ourselves feel more innocent, a little purer, and less guilty. Stop. Reflect. Reconsider. Ponder. Own up.

Father, forgive us of our scapegoating 
Lord have mercy;
Christ have mercy 
~ Amen
