In life, we all must climb the first mountain of life. This is the mountain of the self, where we establish ourselves professionally, socially and financially.
Today's Gospel from Matthew (9:9-26) warns us though, to avoid assuming the first mountain is THE mountain of life.
Jesus teaches us about a second mountain, a mountain that is about helping others, rather than getting ahead. This is the mountain he walked along, this is the mountain he died on and this is the mountain upon which he invites us to live.
