Our community often holds prayer meetings, seminars and others events in Quezon City and because we live there, my husband ED and I hardly miss the gatherings. I must admit, there were times that I thought we impressed the Lord with our commitment to community life and wondered how others could not be so committed.
Then one time, the community announced that our Caring Group Heads Conference would be held in Alabang. Alabang! That’s about 20 kilometers from where we live. Very far, Ed and I groaned. And we groaned some more as we negotiated the traffic jam going to the conference venue.
Then it occurred to me: We have many members from Alabang — or from Rizal and Bulacan — who come all the way to Quezon City every time we have a gathering. They spend money on gas, they suffer through the traffic, they brave the danger of going home late at night when our events wrap up at 10 p,m. And I thought we were the better community members. The Pharisee in today’s Gospel also thought that he was a lot better than the tax collector. |

Are you really committed to Jesus?
