Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” (Mark 9:35 NABRE)
In today's verse, we find more practical insight into the simple, and somehow paradoxical, expectation of Jesus. He wants us to believe in him and to act on that belief. He wants us to serve others as he did.
Today, I will remember that my role in Jesus’ work, like the disciples, is one of service, especially to the poor and lowly.*
Saint Paschal Baylon, patron of shepherds, pray for us.
