Human beings are certainly above the rest of creation and are endowed with many capabilities.
It is with these capabilities that humanity has progressed and developed.
Each of us have our own capabilities and we too have achieved much in our lives.
But no matter how high our status is, how rich we are, how influential we are, how capable we are, we are still human beings and have our limitations and weaknesses.
John the Baptist was considered the greatest of the prophets because it was he who pointed out who the Saviour is.
But in the gospel, we heard that he sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus if He was the Saviour.
Even though John the Baptist was specially chosen by God to prepare the way for Jesus, he too had his doubts and uncertainties.
We too need to acknowledge that we have our limitations and weaknesses.
But as Jesus said, happy are we who put our faith in Him.
As the Lord God said in the 1st reading: Apart from me, all is nothing.
May we put our faith in God and trust in Jesus, for without Him, we are truly nothing.
