The humility of this servant, who considers himself a dead dog , testifies to a deep
faith and a dependence to God. It is essential to recognize our smallness in the face of divine grandeur, as reminded by
Psalms 8: 4 . By prostrating ourselves before him, we open our hearts to his
mercy and his thanks , as also underlines
Luke 18:14 . May this attitude of submission guide us every day on our path of faith.
