Today is the Feast of St. James, Apostle. In the Gospel reading from Matthew 20, Jesus said to his disciples, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave." The lesson learned here is that we must not look down on anyone, not even on the evildoers. We should serve everyone and leave all judgments to God.
