DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage

Dear Friend in the Lord,

Christ-like Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to His apostles that they are to serve humbly at all times.  Like Him, they are to “be the least” of all servants, in living the Father’s Will.  Ponder on, “Are we self-righteous, insensitive and proud when we are serving God’s people and relating to others?”

Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

Mark 10:42-45

Jesus called the apostles to him and said to them, ‘You know that among the  pagans their so-called rulers lord it over them, and their great men make their authority felt.

‘This is not to happen among you this is not to happen. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be your servant, and anyone who wants to be first among you must be slave to all. For the Son of Man himself did not come to serve, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’
