10th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
Today’s liturgy is directed towards the proud. St. Paul corrects the Corinthians who took pride in the gifts given to them by God and reminds them that these gifts are for the assistance of our neighbor. An imperfect form of humility begins with a focus on self – our weakness, dependence, and need. A more perfect humility remains focused on God and acknowledges both our gifts and shortcomings, without allowing pride to enter. With prayer we can obtain true humility. God offers us an audience at all times of the day or night. Without asking Him for the graces necessary, we will not obtain salvation, but when we pray in all humility, we invite His assistance into our lives.
