Dear Community:

This week, Jesus invites us to live with humility and simplicity. It is not only about taking the “last place” at a banquet, but about learning to recognize that everything we are and everything we have is a gift from God.

The Lord teaches us that true greatness is not found in seeking honors or human rewards, but in serving with love, especially those who cannot repay us. In this way, our lives become a reflection of the heart of Christ, who gave himself without reserve.

May this Word help us cultivate a humble and generous attitude, so that in our community we may show the joy of knowing ourselves as brothers and sisters, serving one another. Life is not a competition to see who is greater, but a journey where everyone we meet is a brother or sister in whom we must recognize the face of God. The value of each person does not lie in what they possess, but in the strength of their heart, in their humility, their generosity, and their love.

Lord Jesus, teach us to live with humility and to serve without expecting anything in return.

Rev. Julio Fernandez
