A CALL TO HUMILITY AND HOLINESS
The First Reading and the Gospel of today describe what a disciple of Jesus in the Catholic Church should not be. Persons consecrated to God, or spiritual leaders in the Church ought to be lights that lead others to God, living a faithful and holy life. In the First Reading, Yahweh warns the priests of their disobedience to the Covenant and scandalous living. Jesus cautions his disciples not to fall prey to the hypocrisy of the Scribes and the Pharisees who never practise what they preach. Though called to be light to the people of God, they were darkness themselves. Their wrong interpretation of Torah made the life of ordinary people miserable and unliveable. On the contrary, St Paul and his team, living holy and exemplary life, lead many people to faith and commitment to God by their preaching of the Word of God. They are indeed, men of God and exemplary missionaries. Let us turn to God in faith and repent for our lack of faith and commitment to our Christian and religious vocation.
