Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross! — St. Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians.
God “made himself nothing.” The Fathers all counseled that we should live with less. If we all lived with less, as the Fathers counseled, then who knows what all God could do with the Church.
Father,
This is one that makes sense. Good job!
