Saint Bonaventure, Bishop, Doctor
Monday of week 15 in Ordinary Time
Gospel Matthew 23:8-12
“The greatest among you must be your servant. Anyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will exalted”. This is our call, to be servant. And if we want to be servant, we must humble ourselves. Every situation, every moment, is a call to be become a servant? How can I become a servant? The best way to be a servant is to think how can I serve who is near to me. Every moment, the question I must ask is “how can I serve the person who is near to me?”. Whenever I try to become a servant, I become a disciple of Christ. Whenever I try to get service from others, I move away from discipleship. Let’s reflect: How much am I a servant?
