Redefining Greatness

Background Music: Panalangin by Mark Anthony Cuevas
    Voiced by: Shirly Benedictos

September 30, 2024 Monday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time
Memorial of Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church 
Daily Readings: Job 1:6-22; Luke 9:46-50                                                                         


When the disciples argued about who among them was the greatest, Jesus used the moment to teach a profound lesson. Bringing a child into their midst, He said, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me," redefining greatness in the Kingdom of God.

Jesus calls us to focus on relationships and how we treat others, especially those who cannot repay our kindness. True greatness is not measured by power or prestige, but through humility, vulnerability, and serving the marginalized.

Call to Action for Catholic Living: In a world that often elevates success and status, we must examine our values. Are we driven by ambition or the desire to serve?

Let us embrace the heart of a servant, seeing Christ in everyone, and challenge society's standards of greatness by welcoming all with love and humility. Amen.

 

Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.”  Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
