Quote from yesterday’s Gospel: Mk 10:35-45
”Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served
but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
If we are to be true followers of Christ, this is what we’re to do. Be the servant of the servant. Give all of ourselves to God through our love and service of others. A pretty daunting task if thought about for too long. But that’s hat Jesus’ message is all about. Love. Service. Humility.
Yesterday was Missionary Sunday, and I came across this video clip which shares the work of those in service of others. They are Missionaries. For me, when thinking about thinking about Missionaries I conjure up pictures of the Jesuits portrayed in the movie,’The Mission’, and those images so starkly portrayed in Barbara Kingsolver’s ‘ The Poisonwood Bible’. After watching this clip, I now see Missionaries as real people. Not distant or unreachable. What wonderful examples of God’s love here on earth.
