Reflections with Fr. Michael Kelly - Saturday 30 Oct, 2021
We could read this Gospel as an encouragement to adopt an attitude of “enlightened self-interest” when it comes to management of our engagements with others. That is a kind way to interpret it. But really what’s going on is that Jesus is recommending something absolutely basic to the attitude we need to adopt in the following of Jesus every day: putting others before us so that hey may prosper and benefit well ahead of us.
