In today's Gospel reading from Mark 10, Jesus said to his disciples, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." "To be the servant and slave of all" truly goes against our grain, but we must do our best to imitate the Lord. This I know: If we can achieve that, we'll be ego-free and experience great peace. Even if that goal is difficult to reach, we should always aim for it. Don't forget that nothing is impossible for God!
