others. We like to demand a proportional return for the things we
have done. At the same time, we can easily forget the occasions
when others cut us some slack. We feel privileged when we pull
connections to cut in line in a restaurant, school admission, job op-
portunities, doctor˅s appointmentˎ However, we hiss at others who
do the same when we are the one who has to wait patiently like eve-
rybody else.
Luckily, there is no first and last in the eyes of our Lord. We do not
have to worry about what we have or have not done. There is no line
to queue, no numbers in hand, no front or end position to be con-
cerned. Everything is in our heart, and God knows our heart. All we
need to do is love ˀ love God and love our neighbors.

Dear God,
Enlighten me when my mind is closed;
Calm me when I am anxious;
Open my heart when I am selfish;
Grant me peace and joy in
sharing my life with you.
I ask this in the name of Je-
sus Christ our Lord. Amen
