Dear Our Lady of the Assumption Family,
When Jesus called the twelve apostles to join His inner circle as teachers and spiritual leaders, He taught them a different understanding of power, position, and authority than what the world holds. Jesus reversed the traditional roles of master and servant, Lord and subject, first and last. He combined authority with love, position with sacrifice, and service with humility. Authority without love is overbearing. Position without respect and concern for others is demeaning. Service without generosity and sacrifice feels empty and unkind.
Those who wish to serve the Lord and exercise authority in God’s kingdom must be prepared to make sacrifices. Sacrificing for Christ and others becomes a joy when we act with the love God poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. An early Church father summarized Jesus’ teaching beautifully: “To serve is to reign with Christ; we share in His reign by laying down our lives in humble service for one another.”
Have a blessed day.
Yours in Christ,
Father E. Domme
Our Lady of the Assumption Church
