The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist

Gospel Mark 6:17-29

Our indifference is that shuts down the voice of truth in ourselves and around us. All the guests of the King did not speak a word against the injustice in the wish of the daughter of Herodias. Because they did not want to displease the king. How many times we kept silence against injustice to keep ourselves in our comfort zone? The beheading of St. John the Baptist is an example of our silent or active participation in the injustice among us. All the more, it’s important not to kill the voice of our own conscience with our own indifference. Respond to the grace of truth and fight injustice.

Luke 14, 1.7-14

There is always a possibility to be humble. That’s the lesson of today’s Gospel. Being humble is to give space for the Jesus to appear in me. To make that space for Jesus in me, I have to make space for others around me. So always the person around me is more important than I am. Only this attitude can inspire me to be humble. When I promote myself pretending something which I am not or pretending more that I am, actually we are making ourselves little because everyone around us is watching “this show” in which I want to be something which is not myself. When we are humble, it’s easy for Jesus to appear in our actions and in our attitudes.

 

Be humble and recognize the providence

Be humble and recognize the providence

Before all good things we achieve or we have in our life, there is a grace and a providence. And all good things are privileges because lots of others are not getting it albeit their capacities or even necessities. So, the moment we recognize something good, we should look back with gratitude all the good faces that helped us to be what we are today and all the graces we received to be what we are today. Be humble and recognize the providence.

Maturity

Maturity

Maturity is openness. Openness to the reality as it presents itself. It’s the capacity to see also outside our frameworks. It’s to accommodate what is not expected. It’s to react to or to act in any situation in the way that you can give your best and you can bring out the best in others.
