On the contrary, whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant.- Mt 20:26
Reflection: It is love that led Christ to serve, to give His life as a ransom for many. The word "to serve" no longer means an insupportable degradation of the human being's dignity. In the sense Christ gave it, service acquires the highest moral value--dominion of self, heroism, sacrifice, boundless love.
- Pope Paul VI
Prayer: Teach me, O Lord that the measure of success in my life is how much I have loved. Let me love more each day of my life, until I finally come home to You, Who are pure love.
