Because whoever is the least amongst you , -says our Lord Jesus Christ- is the greatest . I wonder where I stand, do I desire to be the least there where I live ? Can I accept it if people do not regard me highly, if smilingly they step over me and they don’t take into consideration my wishes ??
Our father Saint Francis says “ God’s servants cannot see how much patience , humility dwells in them- as long as everything happens according to their will . When the time comes that one will have to try to please those who act against that , the degree of patience and humility one can display, is actually what is dwelling in one’s heart and no more “ Lets set out deliberately on that way that does not lead one’s steps towards power, might , but to service undertaken out of love , let us also remember that the more people’s worries I can shoulder s humbly, with enduring work the greater I'll appear in God’s eyes! The less I worry about myself , the more love and goodness will be in my life and it is much more likely that God will find a home in my heart !!
With love,
Father Csaba
