The feast of the Chair Peter and scripture draw our attention to an important lesson, namely, finding joy in what we do. These days every employers seeks for a person who is a team worker. I believe in team work and as a team leader it is my duty to treat everyone equally and humanely because we are first humans then only the job title we hold.
Humility is the key to achieving good results in any organisation. Today's Scripture speak about treating others not merely as a duty but gladly. Treat unto other as we want them to treat us. Sometimes doing home chores can be boring and duty bound. It might make us unhappy. It important to pay attention to any chores that we do. This will give us joy and satisfaction in what we do. Sometimes routine works at home can bring unhappiness because we don't really see the results upfront. In this contemporary world, everyone seeks instant results, and this cannot happen in any household. For instance, a mother cannot see instant results while she cares for her baby child. But certainly her time and investment is going to yield fruits when child grows up. Therefore, she cannot give up just because a baby is doing same mistakes over and again.
In the Gospel, we hear Peter is testifying that Jesus is the Son of the Living God. Jesus knew who he was but he wanted to know whether Peter can testify his existence as the Son of God. Jesus in return awards Peter and Peter becomes the foundation of the Church. Jesus rewards Peter. Peter's humility was appreciated and rewarded. In his humility Peter recognizes Jesus' authority. In our lives, we have give credit where it due. In our homes we lack this humility and recognition of each others contribution. Humility helps us to recognize and appreciate each other. This also will help us to credit where it is due.
