“sometimes ... the soul of the child expands wit “sometimes ... the soul of the child expands with a gentle, sweet growth and gradual unfolding as of a flower.” (Vol. 1 p. 343) @tessakeath
The account of the Syro-Phœnician woman occupies The account of the Syro-Phœnician woman occupies only 8 verses of the Gospel of Matthew and 7 of Mark. When we read the passage in haste, we grasp a distraught mother, a difficult response, a humble prayer, and a quiet miracle. Perhaps we take away from the passage a vague resolution to be more humble in our own prayers. But what if we *meditate* on the passage? What if we ask who this woman is? How may she have felt when she learned that Jesus had come to Tyre and Sidon? What emotions did she have when the disciples tried to send her away? (And why did the disciples brush her off?) What was it like when the Lord finally looked her in the eye? And what did it mean to her when her desperate plea was met with a firm and substantiated “No”? And what did it mean for the woman to bring up the analogy of dogs and crumbs? What was she really saying about herself? And what was Jesus thinking as he watched her? And what was He feeling? These are questions I don’t ask when I approach the sacred text. That’s because I haven’t yet learned how to meditate. In the meantime, I am grateful for today’s poem by Charlotte Mason. It’s my poem of choice when I do immersion Bible lessons using The Saviour of the World. It’s not a poem to be skimmed or scanned. It’s a poem to be read slowly and out loud, with a pause to grasp the meaning of every verse. And if you listen carefully, you can hear the woman’s “ceaseless, importunate cry.” May it lead us all to persevere in pleading for the crumbs that fall from the Master’s table. @artmiddlekauff
In an Idyll Challenge meeting recently, we were di In an Idyll Challenge meeting recently, we were discussing Charlotte Mason’s words on faith in Parents and Children chapter 13. In this chapter, Mason reflects on Henry Beeching’s Eleven Sermons on Faith and his assertion that there is only one kind of faith: “faith is not mystic, supernatural, an exceptional development; it is the common basis of our dealings with each other.” During our discussion, someone objected that faith is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8). If that is the case, then how could faith in God be the same as the faith we have in each other? Many of the deepest questions about Mason’s philosophy are not answered by the volumes. They were explained to her inner circle at Scale How, however. In her meditation on the Gospel of John she explained again that there is only one faith. But then she went further. She also explained the truth of Paul’s words in Ephesians. She said that this too is “the free gift of God.” You’re invited to Mason’s inner circle. Read her 27th meditation today.

“When we think for a moment, how we must admire “When we think for a moment, how we must admire the goodness of God in placing us in a world so exceedingly full of Beauty—whether it be of what we call Nature or of what we call Art—and in giving us that sense of Beauty which enables us to see and hear, and to be as it were suffused with pleasure at a single beautiful effect brought to our ear or our eye.” (Ourselves, Book I, p. 42) @aolander
