Yesterday’s reflection asked Catholics in Australia if “we practised what we preached (or believed in).” Today’s reflection asks if we (Catholics in Australia) “live to be served, or do we serve?” Jesus does not mince his words when he says. ‘You know that among the pagans, the rulers lord it over them, and their great men make their authority felt. This is not to happen among you. No; anyone who wants to be great among you must be your servant, and anyone who wants to be first among you must be your slave, just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.’
