28th September: Proper 21.

The author reflects on humility and obedience in the book of Philippians 2:1 to 13. He notes that Saint Paul encourages the people in Philippi to set aside their personal ambition and start to think of others the way Jesus Christ died on the cross. He stresses that the creed "Jesus Christ is Lord" means that Christians have to be servants and obedient church. He contends that the Philippians show that the Catholic Church and Christians should learn new things instead of relearn the old ones.
