Prayer Tip--Holy Tuesday: One Day Closer

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and his disciples, “The legal experts and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat. Therefore, you must take care to do everything they say. But don’t do what they do. For they tie together heavy packs that are impossible to carry. They put them on the shoulders of others but are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do, they do to be noticed by others. They make extra-wide prayer bands for their arms and long tassels for their clothes. They love to sit in places of honor at banquets and in the synagogues. They love to be greeted with honor in the markets and to be addressed as Rabbi.

But you shouldn’t be called Rabbi, because you have one teacher, and all of you are brothers and sisters…The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
