Sheep, Le Mont St. Michel |
that he be worshipped.
Kings, prelates and knights came here,captivated the people.
According to
Holy Scripture, the Archangel Michael would never have commanded that he be
worshiped - at what is called Le Mont Saint Michel, or at any other place.
Angels were
created to serve God, not to compete with Him. This was, however, the
very sin of Lucifer, who wanted to exalt himself and to be worshiped.
Let us
therefore view this remarkable edifice, and the religious pattern formed from
it, for what it is: the stuff of myth and legend.
This photo
however, reminds us of the humble sheep of the pasture which feed on the salty
grass of this place. This grass is a reminder that Our Lord Jesus told His
disciples that they were to be "salt and light."
Several thousand years before, the shepherd
David understood this, for he wrote this immortal song:
The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside
the still waters,
He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in paths
of righteousness for His Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death
I shall fear no evil.
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table
before me in the presence of mine enemies.
Thou anointest my head
with oil, my cup runneth over.
Surely, goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in
the House of the Lord, forever!
(Psalm 23, KJV)
