Humility – Disciple: In today’s Gospel, after washing the feet of His disciples, Jesus tells them, “No servant is greater than his master.” Jesus is reminding them to serve like Him with humility and be willing even to die in their service of God’s Will. Are we humble enough to be willing to serve God’s Greater Glory, and not ours?
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 13:16-20
After he had washed the feet of his disciples, Jesus said to them: ‘In all truth I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, no messenger is greater than the one who sent him.
‘Now that you know this, blessed are you if you behave accordingly. I am not speaking about all of you: I know the ones I have chosen; but what scripture says must be fulfilled: ‘He who shares my table takes advantage of me.
‘I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am He. In all truth I tell you, whoever welcomes the one I send, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.’
