“NO NEED FOR IDOLATORY”
By Fr. Athanaius Agbo
When we hear or talk of idolatory in the scripture, we don't have to
go about looking for statues and images of winged animals or idealized
human beings. Idolatory, in the essence of our lives, remains a
genuine peril for all of us. We can easily make self, our comfort and
tranquility, our peace and prosperity, into idols. They becomes this
when we devote our greatest effort and our best energy and time to
them while offer, considerably less attention to the service of God
and love of our neighbor (mat. 22:37-39) our idols, whatever they may
be, they are no less helpless than those described in psalm 115. They
are like the wing that returns to destroy us and like what that
produces, no ears for harvest or sustenance. “Biko muru anya”
