Humility

Mary Weclomes Souls into Heaven

Posted on the 6th Day of the 30th Week of Ordinary Time - 2006 AD - (Year B)

At Mass and in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament, we are guests. We don't really belong there in the sense that we are not, usually, worthy to be in the presence of Holiness. We are the guests to the wedding feast, the ones whom the servants were told to bring from the street corners, the beggars, the unclean. God welcomes us, broken humanity, and we must have the knowledge of ourselves as we really are in His eyes, when we are in his presence. Because we don't really belong there, in and of ourselves and our own efforts alone. Despite this, God becomes a Victim for us, He places Himself Last of all in the wedding feast of His Sacrifice. In humility we must recognise the greatness of this free and eternal Gift. God's infinite Humility in His giving Himself away to us like this, must be a template for our own humility.
