Often we forget the fundamental vocation of very person and trade it with what the world makes us out to be, a commodity - something with a price on it. Our fundamental vocation is to be sons and daughters of God, which Jesus achieved for us. By His death we are all saved. 

In this 22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time, let us imitate the humility of Jesus. Let us truly be humble before our Almighty God for being saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. May we value our own life and the life of others as worth the price paid by Jesus. 

As Jesus was making his way to Jerusalem, he was teaching how to attain eternal life. On this 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, let us remember the suffering that Jesus endured for love of us. May we find the courage to walk in his footsteps, even in the smallest of ways.
