“And the women sang to one another as they made merry, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and what more can he have but the kingdom?” St. Francis of Assisisaid, “Here is one of the best means to acquire humility; fix well in mind these words: One is as much as he is, in the sight of God, and no more.” Let us pray, Yes, Lord God, the taboo of comparing oneself with another!! Saul is angry but in reality David was greater; he was even anointed king to replace him!! There will always be someone better even greater. Lord, give us the grace to accept the inevitable; superiority of others over us that we can live amicably and in peace with others who may be better and greater than us. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
