"He who humbles himself will be exalted." August 28, 2016 August 28, 2016

"He who humbles himself will be exalted."

Today’s readings are a metaphor for how we live our lives. The first reading from Sirach reminds us of the need to have humility in our lives.  The Gospel from Luke also talks about this very issue as we consider our place at the table of life.  Too often we find ourselves in situations where we are more concerned with those around us than the celebration of life we are living.  We may even be asking, “Are we receiving the honor that we feel we have coming”?  We pray today that the message from the readings will cause us to become lost in the celebration of the banquet of life with true joy, rather than be caught up in the pain of watching and concern about others.                                                                        – Deacon Jim
