On the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we can think about how we see ourselves and others. If we are humble, we can be healed and we can love others. If we are self-righteous, we look down on those around us instead of viewing them through the eyes of love. Let us come to Jesus in humility and ask him to heal us.
