Mission Sunday – Sunday, 24th October 2010
...Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
 

Jesus said to some people who prided themselves on being virtuous and despised everyone else: “those who exalt themselves will be humbled, but those who humble themselves will be exalted”. We often think that being humble means to think badly of ourselves. The truth is that we have a right to think very highly of ourselves. True humility is about acknowledging God as the source of all life and all goodness and giving praise to him from our hearts. It also teaches us that we have no right to judge anyone else because God alone is our judge and he only sees the goodness in each one. We look at each other and see all that is wrong and we criticise. If we learn to look with the eyes of God we will see the wonder and beauty of each other and learn to praise. This is particularly important for married couples, for families and for the health and happiness of our parish community.
