    “You will never wash my feet”

    CBCPNews,

    I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (Jn 13,12-15) We have to realize then that there’s no other way to imitate Christ and to effectively achieve sanctity and actively participate in his continuing work of redemption. Paul has this relevant point to say: “Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of vainglory, but in humility let each one regard the others as his superiors, each one looking not to his own interests but to those of others.” (Phil 2,3-4) We have to learn to look at others as better than us. We have to do everything to acquire, develop and enrich this attitude of wanting to serve and not to be served, inspiring and inculcating it in others as much as we can, for it is what is truly proper of us all.

    Roy Cimagala “AMEN, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” (Mt 26,21) With these words of Christ, let us be warned about the worst things that can come to us in life. “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him,” he told his disciples, “and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.” (Mk 9,31) Preparing for the worst scenario may mean that we come out with various alternative plans so that we can move on. When Martha complained to Christ that her sister was not helping her, Christ reminded her that while what she was doing were good, there was only one thing that was necessary, and Mary, her sister, chose it, and it will not be taken away from her.
