FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK
One of my favorite sayings from my favorite saint, Francis de Sales, is that a really
humble person never thinks anyone has done him or her wrong. This is so because there is no
ego or exalted sense of self to be offended or insulted. In today's Gospel, the Pharisee Simon
invited Our Lord to his home but did not show Him the ordinary courtesies given to guests. Of
course, Our Lord noticed it, but ignored it. A lesser person would have turned around and
walked out right then and there - or else have pouted. Not Jesus! He was too big! He went in
and took His place as though nothing had happened.
We can become hurt and angry at the perceived thoughtlessness and rudeness of others.
It is only a person who is strong and well-balanced emotionally who can take all slights and
insults in stride. We can be annoyed and offended so quickly! We'll mention it to others to get
sympathy, or else, we get hurt and angry.
Weare as big as the things that bother us! Our calm and peace of soul is a result of being
humble. Humility means proper self-respect. It means knowing our dignity as a child of God,
knowing that we are loved deeply by God, and so we don't have to be reassured of our dignity by
the kindness and goodness of others. Being big in heart and soul brings us peace and joy in life.
Let us ask our humble Savior to show us and teach us how to be big in heart and soul;
how to have the right self-respect and so be a person of calm and peace.
