Donkeys carrying Christ

“As gifts increase in you, let your humility grow, for you must consider that everything is given to you on loan.” ~Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

It might be helpful to remember that we are all, in a certain sense, “donkeys” carrying Christ. He gave us the gifts, he is behind all of the inspirations to do good, and his grace is what carries our good deeds to fruition. We obviously still need to freely and lovingly collaborate and this is important, but we cannot forget that Christ is the protagonist.
