Mass Reflection
I made it to mass at work. It was nice and the homily was on point. Some reflection here. We all love to feel important. Jesus used the setting of a wedding banquet to teach us about humility, and we can see the same lesson play out in our daily lives.
Even in the workplace, people often want the best seats, the most recognition, or the highest visibility. Yet, when the CEO or someone of greater authority walks in, the “front seats” are quickly given up.
Today’s Gospel reminds us that these moments are not just about courtesy or workplace etiquette, they are about humility. The places of honor are not seized; they are given. And in God’s kingdom, those places will be opened to us at the right time, in His time.
I pray that we all cultivate true humility, remembering that every “high place” has its purpose and function, and it will be entrusted to us when it is our turn.
God bless you.
Happy Sunday!
