Simony ...

Today’s word is “simony” ... the making of profit out of sacred things. (Dictionary.com)

Exchange
Of all the things we cannot buy,
Delight of soul is surely one,
It would be simony as well.
And by few would it be done.

Blessed peace is not for sale,
Nor love, nor life’s duration,
God’s love is given full and free,
The greatest revelation.
