Wednesday of 2nd Week of Lent

March 10, 2004

Jeremiah 18:18-20

Matthew 20:17-28

   
Scripture
"The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve."
Reflection
How do we know the will of God? One way to answer this is to learn what it is not, as we find in these passages: it is not power over other people, having things go the way we think they should, always doing what people want us to do, or a life without pain. Jesus served a Presence he knew intimately. How do we serve this Presence? The poet Antonio Machado says, "To get to know someone, ask a question, then listen."
Mantra
Ask, then listen.
