Psalms 115:3-8
Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.
Homily:
We create in our image and likeness. Nothing proceeds from us that has no roots in us.
The gods we create in our lives are no different.
Whenever a people feel God is distant, they substitute with a god.
We prioritize symbols over substance.
Humankind needs to get comfortable with the fact that God is not and cannot be housed in anything created by His creation.
