The greatest among you must by your servant

“The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (MT 23: 11-12)

It is a lesson so understood in marriages and families: “the greatest among you must be your servant.” Who truly loves is not looking to be served but to serve others. Couples who serve each other and parents who serve their children follow the example of Jesus, who didn’t come to be served but to serve.

“You have but one Father in heaven; you have but one master, the Christ.” (Gospel Acclamation)
