Today, Catholic Christians celebrate the 25thSunday in Ordinary Time.
In the Gospel passage we have today, we hear the apostles arguing among themselves about which of them was the greatest. Jesus used this opportunity to teach them about a new model that today we call the “servant-leader” form of leadership. We read:
“They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, ‘What were you arguing about on the way?’ But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it he said to them, ‘Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the one who sent me’” (Mark 9: 33-37).
In the above photo, we see some children of our parish listening attentively to Millie Moore, a teacher from our sister parish, the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary in Wilmington, N.C. when she came to visit.
