The one who came to serve

"Sacrifice certainly isn't the law of our society. America has become the land of short cuts and half baked commitments. We want it easy and we want it now. Looking out for number one has become the silent mantra of our day spoken loudly by our deeds if not by our words. But we are learning a more noble paradigm. Every week we feel the call to live up to a courageous way of life that demands sacrifice and self-denial. The challenge to lay down our lives for our faith, our family, and worthy causes is now a passion in each of our hearts. We do not find our motivation and strength in the possible payback or payoff, but from the One who came to serve, not to be served. I am speaking of our ultimate hero, Jesus Christ. May He empower each of us heroes to live nobly as we go out to face our day today!"

Humble ourselves...

"Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.'"
Thomas Merton

1915 - 1968

"I think we all agree we have much to learn. That's not the challenge. The problem arises when we become selective about who might bring us the lesson. May we be open to the wisdom and truth that often comes to us from a parent, a teacher, a brother or sister, a pastor, whomever. The essential thing is to learn, not to protect some image we attempt to project. Life always goes down easier with a healthy dose of humility. 'Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.' Blessings to all you who are living in humility before God!"
