"He spoke the following parable to some people who prided themselves on being upright and despised everyone else."
I have fallen into the trap, into the false sense of security of despising everyone else. I have fallen into the trap of believing that t I am better than others, that I am superior to others, That if I only "bring people along" than they'll finally see things my way and I'll get what I want.
Jesus, let me be more compassionate, more sympathetic, more empathetic. St. Francis, help me to understand rather than be understood. Help me to care about others, not use others as tools for my own selfish ends, for my own gain. Help me remember that the glory of all good things goes to God, that I am an agent of the Lord, and that I claim no independent validation for my good works, short of doing the will of God and justifying the glory of God.
