“Embarassing the angels”

Peggy Noonan has a very good piece on The Wall Street Journal’s very own OpinionJournal.com.  It can serve as a point for your lenten reflection on your own perception and interaction with the world around you. 

Quote:

"Lent began yesterday, and I mean to give up a great deal, as you would too if you were me. One of the things I mean to give up is the habit of thinking it and not saying it. A lady has some rights, and this happens to be one I can assert.

"You are embarrassing the angels." This is what I intend to say for the next 40 days whenever I see someone who is hurting the culture, hurting human dignity, denying the stature of a human being. I mean to say it with belief, with an eye to instruction, but also pointedly, uncompromisingly. As a lady would. All invited to join in."
