REFLECTION ON TODAY’S READINGS - TRUE GREATNESS LIES IN SERVICE
Jesus condemns the hypocrisy and vanity of the Pharisees and Scribes: “Everything they do is done to attract attention.” It is not so much about the names “Rabbi”, “Master”, “Father”, and “Teacher”. Jesus condemns the attitude of those who love and covet titles instead of service, putting heavy burdens on others’ shoulders but lifting none. Jesus said, “The greatest among you must be the servant of all” (Mt 23:11). There are two classes of people on earth: those who serve/help and those who seek to be served/helped. To which do you belong? In the divine government, God works through the instrumentality of his creatures. Thus, the spiritual gifts are said to be gifts bestowed to be given. In service, therefore, we become channels of God’s grace to one another. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. A teacher is fulfilled by the number of students he/she has taught. Hence, it is to the extent that we share our life and giftedness in service to others that we become great.
