The place that makes room for others

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

In a reflection on the Gospel of October 31, Luis Javier Moxó Soto notes that Jesus observes guests seeking the first places during a meal. Rather than offering a lesson in etiquette, Jesus proposes a way to transform relationships by choosing the last place.

Moxó Soto writes that selecting the last place is not an act of self-deprecation. Instead, it is a way to renounce the obsession with standing out so that one may discover how true greatness creates space for others.
