I think the whole concept of the first shall be last and the
last shall be first is kind of interesting in society where we are constantly
told that we need to be first. We need to be #1. Whether it’s in school or on
the football field (have you ever been to a high school game in this state?),
second place is just the first loser.
But really, we don’t even need to look any further than a
typical Sunday Mass. Everyone wants to be the first for Communion so that they
can head out. And this is also a great example of how the last shall be first,
since they are the only ones who have actually fully attended Mass (in case you
didn’t know, that final blessing is a big deal). It’s important that we take a
step back and truly look beyond the temporary and seek what is eternal (God).
