I am the least of the apostles and do not deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the people of God. By the divine influence of God I am what I am. His grace was not given to me in vain for I labored more than all of them. Yet it was not I. It was the divine influence and favor of God in me.

I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace that was given me according to the working of his power. To me, the very least of all the holy ones, was given grace (loving divine influence) to preach to the people of the nations the untraceable riches of Christ.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, invite you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called. Walk with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, putting up with one another in love. Diligently try to keep the unity (oneness) of the Spirit in the bond of peace. read more.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling. There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. There is one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. But unto each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
















He then spoke this illustration to some who trusted in themselves. They were very self-righteous. They looked down on others: Two men went to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed like this: God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. read more.
I fast twice per week. I give tithes of all that I get. But the tax collector stood far away and would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven. He beat his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you the tax collector and not the Pharisee was right with God when he went home. He who exalts himself will be humbled! He who humbles himself will be exalted!



In that hour the disciples came to Jesus. They asked: Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? He took a little child and put him in the middle of them. He said: Truly I tell you, if you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven. read more.
He who humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
