BE LITTLE

Tuesday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time: Year C Matthew 18:1-5,10,12-14 Whenever we hear the word “great” we ussually attribute it to size, strength, power, ability, achievements, etc. How do we achieve greatness? Friends, greatness is not found in possession, power, position or prestige. Greatness is discovered in humility, goodness, service and character. We come nearest to greatness when we are great in humility. Greatness, in the spiritual sense, is associated with littleness and humility. And humility is the mother of giants. If we wish to be great, be little! If we don’t know how to bent we are not fit to enter God’s kingdom. The gate of heaven of very low, only those who are humble can enter it. Among Jesus' greatest concerns was his care for the weak and the little ones. Friends, the path of humility is the road that leads towards greatness. “Unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.” Blessings Fr. Jhack
