ONLY GOD IS TRULY GREAT
In 1715, King Louis XIV of France died after a 72 year
reign. He had called himself "The Great," and was the monarch who
made the famous statement, “I am the state!” His court was the most magnificent
in Europe, and his funeral was equally spectacular. As his body lay in state in
a golden coffin, orders were given that the cathedral should be very dimly lit
with only a special candle set above his coffin, to dramatize his greatness. At
the memorial, thousands waited in hushed silence. Then Bishop Massilon began to
speak. Slowly reaching down, he snuffed out the candle and said, “Only God is
great.”
Indeed.
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
