Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Humility” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to His disciples, “Treat others as you would like them to treat you . . .” Ponder on, “Do we face painful challenges to be ‘humble’ when we have ‘double standards’ in ‘treating others and ourselves?” Do we ‘justify’ our own comforts and needs, but are rigid and unforgiving towards others?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 7:6,12-14
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.
‘So always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that is the Law and the Prophets.
‘Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and many take it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.’
