The Presence in the One who serves

I am in your midst as the One Who serves you. (Lk 22:27)


When we serve others for the pure love of serving God,
we fulfill our call to follow in the example set forth by our Lord, Himself.
For Christ Himself came among us to serve.

Jesus had to be one of us,
so that he could serve God
as our merciful and faithful high priest
and forgive our sins. (Hebrews 2:17)

This service must be one of self-denial,
humility,
and love.
Only by this three-step 'formula' will it be true service
according to the example of our Savior.

In this way,
will our genuine presence
in serving our brothers and sisters,
obtain God's reward.
