For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45 NABRE)
Imagine it. God's son humbled himself to serve those of his creation who were in need. And in one way or another, we are all in need of his help.
Yesterday, Pope Francis visited the imprisoned so let's pray for justice and for true interior freedom for all people. Here is a prayer from the Roman Missal for those held in captivity:*
O God, whose Son humbled himself
and took the form of a slave
to redeem the human race from being captive to sin,
grant to your servants held in confinement
that they may obtain the freedom you destine to all,
for we are your sons and daughters.
Through Christ our Lord.
Today, I will pray for my brothers and sisters held in confinement and longing for freedom.
Saint Wenceslaus, who was able to incarnate your Christianity in a world filled with political unrest, pray for us.
