These lessons are shown through simple actions and attitudes. In the first reading from Sirach, we are reminded to be humble in our relationships with others. "The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself." This powerful statement challenges our natural inclinations toward pride and ambition. In a world that often equates success with dominance and prestige, the wisdom of Sirach calls us to a different path, a path of humility. When we approach life with a humble heart, we invite grace into our lives and create a space for God to work through us. The Psalmist echoes this sentiment, declaring, "The Lord gives the desolate a home." It's a beautiful reminder that God dwells with the humble, lifting up those who are lowly and marginalized. When we serve those in need, we reflect God's love and compassion. In the Letter to the Hebrews, we see a vision of the heavenly Jerusalem, a gathering place of the saints where the humble will find their reward in the presence of God. It challenges us to reconsider what we value and how we are shaped by our earthly experiences in light of eternal gifts. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus teaches us through his interactions at a banquet, urging us not to seek the places of honor. ======================================================================== @jesuscalls @MyCatholicLifeJMJ @truewords1995 @WordOfJESUS11 @thewordofgod533
