Friends of the Rosary:
As we read in the Gospel today (Mt 23:1-12), Jesus said to his disciples and the crowd:
"The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, but whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
The Son of God was talking about the spiritual pride shown by the scribes and Pharisees:
"Do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice."
Being themselves the authors of many precepts, the Pharisees believed themselves to be equally the authors of their own sanctity.
In other words, they rejected the merciful love of Christ, putting themselves away from Him and His Salvation.
Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!
To Jesus through Mary!Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!
