In this episode, Fr. Isaac reflects on Jesus’ teaching at the banquet table: don’t scramble for the best seat, take the lowest instead. But is Jesus telling us to fake humility or go fishing for compliments? Through the lens of ancient banquets, ego, and Anthony De Mello’s reminder to “behold God beholding you and smiling,” we discover that true humility isn’t about putting ourselves down — it’s about seeing ourselves as God sees us.
