24 Oct 2010 - Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

God knows no favorites, Sirach tells us. He judges justly and affirms the right. Is that true for you? Does everybody get equal treatment from you? If not, why not? Do you feel heard by God? How confident are you of your own salvation? Where do you find yourself stumbling the most in the race to keep the faith? Have you ever found yourself making the Pharisee's mistake of comparing yourself with others to spotlight your own virtue? When have you felt most humbled? Do others see humility in you?
