Luke 17:7–10
Jesus said to his disciples, “Who among you would say
to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come
here at once and take your place at the table’? Would you not rather say to
him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and
drink; later you may eat and drink’? Do you thank the slave for doing what was
commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do,
say, ‘We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!’”
Reflection
• How
do I affirm others?
• What is the challenge for me in this
gospel passage?
