“Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God.”

For Jesus, the path to becoming humble is simple: act humbly.  In relation to others, take the lower place.  We can all try it out this week and discover many circumstances where it is so true, so helpful.  We can practice being more humble with the primary relationships of our life - the people with whom we live - and then with the people with whom we work, and finally, in how we regard everyone with whom we interact.

Lord, as you help us be more humble each day this week, help us hear, to see those who are without, those who are wounded or broken, those who are blocked or afraid, those who are caught in unjust structures.  And bless us all as a community of your followers until we can say together, “Of course, we must invite these to share in the table of blessings you have prepared for all your children, until no one is hungry or left out, persecuted or sick without care, until all human life is treated with respect and the sacred dignity you give to every person.”

Vocation View: Jesus keeps saying, “Let go.  Come, follow me.” If your pride is holding you back, or if you’re looking for exaltation, let go.  Come, follow His way.
