Humility Draws Us To God
That's the end of this homily.
Reflecting on the resolve of Jesus' followers after the crucifixion and resurrection, Fr. Michael highlights the wise words of Gamaliel and the 3 modes of Christian humility taught by St. Ignatius.
The reading
John 6:1–15
Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee.
A large crowd followed him,
because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick.
Jesus went up on the mountain,
and there he sat down with his disciples.
The Jewish feast of Passover was near.
When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him,
he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?"
He said this to test him,
because he himself knew what he was going to do.
