It was a wild 48 hours for Jericho Labonte. Astoria police say Labonte stole a $160,000 yacht from the Astoria Port, piloted it in rough seas to the mouth of the Columbia River, then had to be rescue via helicopter after the boat began taking on water. Video courtesy of USCG

Those who reason using human logic, that is, the logic of the merits acquired through one’s own greatness, from being first, find themselves last. Instead, those who humbly entrust themselves to the Father’s mercy, from being last, find themselves first (see Mt 20:1-16)
