Psalm 33:4-5, 18-20, 22
Hebrews 4: 14-16Mark 10: 35-45
Again and again over this past month, Jesus is trying to teach his followers that true leadership, true discipleship, comes through humble, simple service. And as James and John demonstrate in this Gospel, that's a hard message to truly learn! While it may be simpler to believe in a God who will swoop in and fix everything (as we define 'fix", of course), the truth is that our God loves us so deeply as to absorb all of our hurts and challenges; transforming them, in God's time, through the power of his cross and resurrection.
The mystery of the humility of the One who has no reason to be humble leads us to evaluate how well we serve this God through our service of one another.
RCIA participants will be attending the Catholic Convocation this Saturday; there is no RCIA session this Sunday.
