Strategic networking- A cartoon by Rina Piccolo in ‘Parade Magazine’ [June 27, 2010] shows a little girl, with her back pack, about to get on the bus to go to summer camp for the first time. Her mother lovingly offers these reassuring words to her nervous daughter: "You'll make lots of friends, honey . . . provided you exploit the right social-networking tools to your advantage."

It's the way of the world: give to those that can raise your profile, make time for those who can advance your career, do for those who can later do for you. But Jesus asks us to see one another from the perspective of Gospel humility: humility that realizes that we are not the center of all things but part of a much larger world, humility that is centered in gratitude for all the blessings we have received as a result of the depth of God's love and not because of anything we have done to deserve it. God's banquet table includes places of honor for every poor, hurting, confused soul. The spirit of humility as taught by Jesus is the realization that we share with every human the dignity of being made in the image and likeness of God; Christ-like humility is the ability to see one another as God sees us and to rejoice in being ministers to one another in the joys and struggles we all experience.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. - Matthew 7:12
