Mark 9:30-37
They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did
not want anyone to know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them,
‘The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and
three days after being killed, he will rise again.’ But they did not understand
what he was saying and were afraid to ask him. Then they came to Capernaum; and
when he was in the house he asked them, ‘What were you arguing about on the
way?’ But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another
about who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them,
‘Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.’ Then he
took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said
to them, ‘Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever
welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.’
Reflection
How do I see my mission? Is it a easy one or it is a
difficult one?
In serving the Church, do I always insist it should be done
in my way only?
