Matthew 23:1-12

Reflection
Jesus' disciples are not to make a big display of religion nor are they to seek honorable titles like 'father' and 'teacher' and 'rabbi'. Our teacher is God, and the true disciples learn only from God. We find very often in Jesus a dismissal of ostentatious religion. He calls on his followers to be humble. Our church is to be humble, as we are to be in our dealings with each other. For this, we need prayer which inserts us daily into the mystery of being loved and called by God in Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help us serve in humility to show by our actions the love of Jesus. This is how the world can see God on earth.
​Amen!
