ARE YOU EMBARRASSED TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH JESUS - BE HUMBLE: 22nd Sunday OT C

Send us Fan MailBrothers and sisters in Jesus, Christ, the common theme of today’s readings is the importance of practicing humility and avoiding self-glorification or pride. 1) Humility enables us first to accept others as God’s children, our brothers and sisters, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. 2) Humility also encourages us to offer them loving and sacrificial service through acts of charity, mercy and forgiveness. 3) Humility enables us to accept ourselves as we are before God, with all our defects and demerits. 4) Humility also prompts us to be thankful to God for giving us blessings, talents, and capabilities, for our own use, for serving our brothers and sisters and so for giving Him glory and for strengthening us every day by His grace. 5) It is humility which opens our eyes, ears, hearts and minds to the poor, the needy, the disadvantaged, and the marginalized people in our society, thus practicing Christ’s option for the poor  in Christ. Let to pray for the grace to practice humility, putting Jesus Christ at the centre of all we do. Support the show
