Today’s Readings: ACTS 13:13-25 PS 89:2-3, 21-22, 25, 27 JN 13:16-20

When is the last time you served someone? I’m talking about doing something you get no pleasure from. I’m talking about doing something and looking for zero recognition. I’m talking about being a Roman Catholic.

Service is meant to be one of the defining characteristics of our Faith.

I should be on the lookout for things my wife hates to do. I should jump into those gaps. And I should do it without saying a word.

If Jesus can wash a mere mortal’s feet (as he does in today’s Gospel), there isn’t anything we should ever consider to be beneath us.
