Love Shows Up Sin:

Love is the original and ultimate harmony of all that exists. Sin is only a discordant note within the total orchestration. The more our lives are attuned to the harmony of love, the keener our perception of every discordant note.

Humility – Faith:

In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us to be humble. To be humble means we must be God-centered in everything we do, think and say. Humility is a virtue that opens our minds to God’s Truth and our hearts to God’s Love, Peace and Justice. How much humility do we have?

Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you.

- Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)

Hence we must say that for the knowledge of any truth whatsoever man needs divine help, that the intellect may be moved by God to its act. But he does not need a new light added to his natural light, in order to know the truth in all things, but only in some that surpasses his natural knowledge. (Summa Theologiae, I-II, 109, 1)
