Servant Leadership Matt 23 1:12

Today's Gospel is one that I hold dear to my heart as a Franciscan.  Being small, one of the minores as Francis called them, is the cornerstone of what he taught.  See, to be small, unimportant, and humble.  Lead as a job and not for your own aggrandizement.  As a leader you are the servant of those you lead, you are in fact then beneath them.

Loving Christ is our goal as Christians and in this world we can only love Him in others.  We serve Christ by serving Him in other people.  How can we serve Him in those other people if we are lording over them?  Live to serve and you can't really go wrong.  Serve and others will follow you.  Love and others will love you.  Do all this in Christ and you will serve Him and teach others to do the same.  Love.
