REFLECTION
FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR
In today’s gospel through
the parable of the wedding banquet, Jesus is teaching us the lesson of
humility. As Sirach had said in the first reading: “Conduct your affairs with
humility and you will be loved move than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the
more, the greater you are and you will find favour with God”. To be humble is
ready to accept of who we are especially with our talents, abilities and
limitations or weaknesses. God creates us equal and no one is superior. It
means just like Jesus Christ, we also say “Learn from me for I am gentle and
humble of heart. It also means that we should live a life that Jesus lived – a
person for others. We see today that everybody is competing of who will be at
the top. But we are called to touch the lives of others. We are the hands and
feet and the mouth of Jesus. Each one of us will become Christ for others. We
will use our talents and gifts not for ourselves but for those who need them
most.
