Episode Details

The Gospel of today tells us several things. First, Jesus spent more time, effort, and resources in training those who would speak and preach in His Name. How can we be good instruments of God's Word if we do not train ourselves more deeply. Then, Jesus reveals His coming Passion, Death and Resurrection. This is very much part of Jesus' life. Hence, we should not be shocked by the presence of the Cross everyday. If our lives as Christians takes it pattern from the ebb and flow of the various mysteries of the Rosary, we should observe the presence of the Sorrowful Mysteries. Then, we have the embarrassing discussion of Jesus' disciples about who among them was the greatest. Jesus put them in their place by underlining the importance of our calling as Christians to be of service to our brethren. The idea is not to aspire for power and authority but to desire power and authority in terms of being of more service to the others.
