14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
First reading – Zechariah 9:9-10
“See now, your king comes to you; he is victorious, he is triumphant, humble and riding on a donkey…” This paradox is the key of our spirituality. Victorious and triumphant but humble and riding on a donkey. The reality of incarnation of the second person of God is depicted here. God became man. Triumphant God but humbled himself to become a man. He finishes all wars and proclaims peace for the nations. His empire shall stretch from sea to sea. Our following of Jesus Christ is to learn how to be humble when we are victorious and triumphant. How to be unpretentious when we are successful and powerful. How to be modest when we are rich and glorious. How to be down to earth? This is the process we must go through. The process of becoming humble when we are triumphant. Let’s reflect: How much am I humble in my successful moments?
