Monday of Week 31 in Ordinary Time

That they cannot pay you back.
Means that you are fortunate.
We are blessed in what we lack.
We are what we are , not what we rate.Everybody is to be self effacing.
Always consider the other person to be better .
It’s good enough to walk rather than be racing.
Nicer rather than fitter.

If we worried less about number one.
And thought more of others .
If we were happy to be no one rather than someone.
We might break these selfish tethers.

Of course we say that.
But do we do that.

…….

Cannot pay you back
Perhaps you are fortunate
Being left behind

See John 8 : 31-32 and Philippians 2: 1-4
