Tuesday, Week XX, Ordinary Time

The word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are haughty of heart, you say, “A god am I! I occupy a godly throne in the heart of the sea!”— And yet you are a man, and not a god, however you may think yourself like a god. No, you are man, not a god, handed over to those who will slay you. (Ez 28:1-10)

The prophet Ezekiel pronounces the doom of the Prince of Tyre who is the biblical definition of hubris. It’s what happens when we throw our weight around and act like we own the world. There will be a reckoning. As Ezekiel reminds us: you are human, you are not a god.
