Friend, Come up Higher

This week we have the Ember Days and the feasts of St. Matthew and the North American Martyrs. St. Paul in the Epistle for today’s Mass writes about God the Father as the source of all fatherhood in the world. Our Lord in the Gospel teaches the importance of humility in the parable of the wedding feast. Pride is the vice that is the worst obstacle we face in our spiritual life. The Collect for today is about grace and how it inspires us in good works and helps us complete them. Always follow the motions of grace that God sends.
