Ambrose, bishop of Milan, on Isaiah 1:17, Ps 146:9 & 132:15. Honoring widows and aiding orphans would lessen God’s wrath. This good deed is a metaphor for a future spiritual reality.

Are we too wise these days for this kind of duality— promises of future spiritual realities and temporal works (that make you get off the prayer couch) reinforcing each other?

How can you honor the widow?
