Reflection

“The true character of ministry is a servant’s heart.” ~ Harold Warner

Prayer

Almighty and eternal God, no matter what title we might possess in life, the most important is that of servant. Your son Jesus taught his disciples that the leaders of the world often lord it over others and want to make their authority felt. In a world that often extols the need for, and promotes the prestige of, leaders, we know you call us not to exert authority over others but to serve the needs of our sisters and brothers. Inspire us by your Holy Spirit to answer your call to be servants, to seek not the pursuit of power but the path of love. In gratitude for your call, we pray. Amen.
