Summary: <p>The reading from Deuteronomy reminds the Israelites that God formed them as a people and delivered them from Egypt. They called themselves “The Chosen People” not as a badge of honor, but as a reminder that they were only a nation because of God’s initiative. Other nations had power or wisdom, the Israelites only had God’s help. In this week’s homily we will look at humility as understanding all we have comes from God.</p>
