Hi all, I just wanted to share some thoughts I had about the humiliation of the Cross. This topic has never ceased to wonder me. He, who was in the form of God, didn't think it something to be coveted, but emptied himself to take up the form of a slave, and humbled himself even unto the death on the Cross. We observe the rememberence of this every time we celebrate Eucharist. But do we reflect upon this? HE gave us an example of love by washing the feet of the disciples, a slave's job. He commanded us to do the same and said that the love which one offer by emptying oneself will be the sign by which others will recognise HIS disciples. Does we pay heed to this great command? Only if one empties himself more as one grows, Holy Spirit can pour Himself more into that person. Are we vessels who grow by thickening our walls? Only if we throw out more of our selves by carving away the walls of our selves, the Spirit can pour Himself more into us. Remeber, a vessel can hold only as much as the emptiness in it.
