Today's reading is Leviticus 19, 20, 21
The scripture reading is on what it means to be a community of people committed to living a standard that leads to dignity of people together in community.
It's easy to live selfishly. You have a life centered on "me"...what I want, what I feel, what I desire, what is me! To live in a manner that is not ME but US requires the heart of unselfishness. Jesus said it is "dying in order to live". He remind us that we'll never discover life in our selfishness...it only leads to disorientation and dysfunction. Look at the passage again. It is the ultimate call to the dignity of community.
