*Lesson in humility*

In the Gospel, Jesus gives the Pharisees a lesson in humility. He is actually talking about us. He invites us all to be humble because in seeking to exalt ourselves, we could end up being very embarrassed when our true position is exposed. Jesus never ceases in his life and his teaching to invite us through his life and his teachings. St Paul tells us that: "Although he was in the condition of God, he did not jealously hold back the rank that made him equal to God" (Phil 2:6). Jesus himself reminds us: “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11).

Let us pray for the grace of humility and live a life of humility if we truly want to please the Lord. The book of Proverbs states that: “A man's pride brings him low, but he who is humble in spirit obtains glory” (Prov 29:23). This is undoubtedly why the same book of Proverbs tells us that “Humility goes before glory and Pride goes before the fall”. (Prov 15:33)

Give me Lord, the grace to be humble like Mother Mary (7X)
