Reflection:

The parable in today’s Gospel brings out two contrasting experiences, but each in its own way can be a moment of grace, a moment of truth, a moment of growth.  In the first case, we may recall an experience in our lives when we claimed a place that was too high for us; so we may not be as selfless, as generous or compassionate as we thought we were.  In the second case, others may have pointed out a goodness in us that we may not have seen in ourselves.  So let us ask God to take away our pride and to grant us humility.

Newsletter:
