We don’t follow the Gospel to be esteemed. Pope Francis told his ministers and all evangelizers to take on the “smell of the sheep” (Evangelii Gaudium). Cultivate doing good and getting no credit; do a small kindness for someone anonymously. For example, send a grocery gift card to someone who needs it, shovel snow from the walk of the elderly neighbor down the street, or discreetly donate vacation hours to a coworker. Not that we shouldn’t engage people. We just need to make sure relationships are based on solidarity, not a sense of superiority. Solidarity, one of the themes of Catholic social teaching, calls us to be humble teachers and leaders which imply a firm and preserving determi- nation to commit oneself to the good of the common good, i.e. to the good of all and of each individual. The portrait of the scribes and the Pharisees in today’s Gospel runs counter to Jesus’ very direct instructions to the crowds and to his disciples: “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, but whoever humbles himself will be ex- alted”. The scribes and the Pharisees failed to recognize that true greatness depends on one’s willingness to serve. Let us heed Jesus’ words today by practicing the Gospel in solidarity with the people we are called to serve. UPCOMING EVENTS Just a Thought .
