Minute Meditations From The Popes


On the contrary, whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant.
-Mt. 20:26

Reflection:
It is love that led Christ to serve, to give His life as a ransom for many. The word "to serve" no longer means an insupportable degradation of the human being's dignity.
In the sense Christ gave it, service acquires the highest moral value -dominion of self, heroism, sacrifice, boundless love.
-Pope Paul VI

Prayer:
Teach me, O Lord, that the measure of success in my life is how much I have loved. Let me love more each day of my life, until I finally come home to You, Who are pure love.
