The Liturgy this Sunday invites us to be humble and lowly.  What matters is not what we are in the sight of men and women but how God views us.  Humility is a forgoten virtue today.  But pride is hardly the way to Heaven.  To be humble means to recognise that as human beings, all of us, whatever our status in life, are limited beings.  We depend on God's providence and on the goodness of so many others who have made us waht we are today.

Jesus said: "When someone invites you yo a wedding feast, do not take your seat in the place of homour."
