One Minute Reflection – 5 November
Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ. He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted...Matthew 23:10-11
REFLECTION – “In a very poor plantation village in Sri Lanka, I was received with unimaginable honours. For days the first visit of a cardinal had been prepared: garlands, the long road neatly and painstakingly covered with fresh sand, flowers, music, everything that these poor people were able to muster. When we finally reached the church–a wretched building-the Jesuit Father, who had been living there, impoverished, for forty years among his parish children, whispered in my ear: “Do not believe that these people did all that on account of Christoph Schönborn. They do it for Christ.”…Encountering Christ in the Gospel | Excerpts from Cardinal Christoph Schönborn’s ‘My Jesus’
PRAYER – Lord God, teach us humility, to give and not to count ever the cost to ourselves, to take the lowest part and the back seat – teach us Lord, to strive and not to seek for glory, save for that of Your Kingdom. Lord have mercy on us all, who seek rewards for our own sakes, amen.
