THE 25TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B - 18th & 19th September 2021

REFLECTIONToday's gospel calls upon us to undertake something that is not a feature of the modern world and all of its media- to put oneself last rather than first. Yet, there are so many examples where this is occurring but it doesn't seem to receive the airtime in the headlines of the modern media especially in social media. Social media seems to promote the opposite.
When you see the work of all of those at the coalface of the health, education and social services sectors especially on the back of the Covid pandemic, we have numerous examples of those who put themselves last and put so many others first.
When you see the work of those who are donating time at St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army or Foodbank just to name a few organisations then it is clear that we have so many in the community who indeed live by this trait. What becomes clear to me is that with so many everyday role models all around us, we can do it too.
