Note: Due to some technological aberration, there should be three slices of bread today. For some reason, the Pentecost slice and yesterday's were not posted. Rather than overwhelm you, today's slice will be thin, but nevertheless nourishing.
When Jesus heard his disciples arguing among themselves who was the greatest, he reminded them that anyone who wishes to be first, would have to seek the last place as the servant of all. Moreover, he placed a little child in the midst of them, and putting his arms around it, told them that receiving such a one, received him, and not only him, but the One who sent him. (cf. Mk 9:35-37). As Marists of Champagnat, we embrace servant leadership and the simplicity of a child, for this is part of our charism. Yet, we can lose sight of it with our busyness, or the distractions that bombard us. Rather than be discouraged, let us refocus from time to time during the day, picturing this scene and hearing these words. Do we want to be a bickering disciple or a loving, trusting child?
