Tuesday of week 7 in Ordinary Time, II

Humility marks the Church

Mark 9:30-37 

The mark of a true Church is humility among its members.

Just as Jesus humbled himself by taking the form of bread and wine, he also converts the humble into his own body and blood.

The proud have no Jesus in their hearts.  They think they own this world, the Church, and their lives.  Humility eradicates all these.  Through humility, we realize we are not the beginning of this Church; Jesus is.

Through humility, we realize we are not the end of this Church; Jesus is.

Finally, we realize we don't own this Church; Jesus owns us.  May our Church be a humble Church that always looks up at Jesus and serves Him as He pleases.
