Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Tuesday 22 May 2018
"Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” Mark 9, 35
Jesus is not saying , that we should not try to be great, first, but that whoever wants to become really great , should be the servant of all !! Because whoever wants to be the greatest , that person should be deliberately the least , the last in the house!! You can be a champion, with a Christian phrase saint, but only if you undertake the work , the tasks on behalf of others as well, if you shoulder others” burdens, worries , cross without a word, smiling, lovingly!
With love ,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
They went on from there and passed through Galilee. Jesus 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 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."
Mark 9:30-37
