Then
Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples. The scribes and the Pharisees
sit on Moses’ seat; therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do
not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach. They tie up heavy
burdens, hard to beat, and lay them on the shoulders of others, but they
themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them… They love to have the
place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues, and to be
greeted with respect in the market places, and to have people call them rabbi.
But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher and you are all
students. And call no one your father on earth for you have one Father- the one
in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor
the messiah… .The greatest among you will be your servant. All who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.

| St. Louis of France |
Father Michael Coutts announced that it is
the feast day of St. Louis of France and St. Joseph Calaranz. St. Louis
of France practiced good balance of caring of his children and ruling the church.
There was a healthy tension between family life and his relationship with God
so the glory of God shone in his kingdom. On the other hand, St. Joseph Calaranz saw there was lot of
morale depravity among the poor who have no ambition to improve themselves. So
St. Joseph started a group of people to educate them in order to form their
character until he died in 1956. Let us imitate St. Louis and St. Joseph in the
way they live their lives.
