Lectio: Mt 23.1-12

“Whoever exalts himself, will be humbles, but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Mt 23.12

“O God, You created is all eq and equal for all of us our Your children - no more, no less.
I remember Jesus warned against the spirit of superiority and urged humility on the part of His followers.

Grant that I may seek to honor only You in all I do as a grateful child.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “humility” - truth; unpretentious, integrity, all our equal in essence; no one is superior in God’s eyes - nor in our eyes; we are all one in the Lord.

P.S. The retreat went well at San Alfonso in Long Branch, NJ. Except for Wednesday the weather was great and I was privileged to see the sun rise over the ocean on every day except Wednesday. All of you were remembered in my prayers.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 14.12-14
