Today’s Gospel

Who among you would say to your servant, coming in from the fields after plowing or tending sheep, ‘Go ahead and have your dinner’? No, you tell him, ‘Prepare my dinner. Put on your apron, and wait on me while I eat and drink. You can eat and drink afterward.’ Do you thank this servant for doing what you told him to do? I don’t think so. And therefore, when you have done all that you have been told to do, you should say, ‘We are no more than servants; we have only done our duty.’”

Today’s Reflection

Jesus came to serve and not to be served. As followers of Christ, we are called to be servants like him—a servant who gives himself totally for the service of others. God has given us so many gifts and talents that we can share and use as we give our service to our brothers and sisters in need. These gifts are  not  ours to possess. These are meant to be shared for the good of others, and when we serve, we do it with all humility, knowing that what we give all comes from the generosity of God. We owe everything to him. At the end of the day, when we have accomplished our duty, may we give all the praise and glory to God and not to ourselves. After all, we are no more than servants; we have only done our duty.
