Fr Patrick Etuk, MSP - Homily from 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time year B, Oct. 21, 2018

whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
For the Son of Man did not come to be served
but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mk 10;35-43

Jesus never discouraged us from aspiring for greatness. We were all created for greatness.  He rather taught us  what true greatness consists in.

 It is not about occupying exalted positions, but having a humble and eager disposition to be of service to others especially the most vulnerable.  An attitude of humble service to others is the sure path to greatness. Anyone hence can be great. You too can be great.

πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™Jesus grant me that generosity of heart, make me humble ever willing to serve without counting the cost. Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like yours. Amen.
