“If anyone wishes to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.” What does this mean in terms of our disciple-
ship? It means that our call to discipleship must not become a source of pride-fulness. Jesus set the bar high in terms of selfless surrender — it doesn’t just mean that you give your-self over to the beautiful parts of God’s will. That path will likely include some undesirable mo-
ments as well…for Jesus, that meant persecution, rejection, and crucifix-ion. In today’s Gospel, Je-sus tells the disciples that He will be put to death, and the next thing He knows, they are arguing over who is the greatest among them. Isn’t that just
like humans?! Authentic discipleship is not de-scribed by greatness, privi-lege, or self-glorification. Instead, it is characterized by humility, meekness, lowliness, and servanthood. John the Baptist tells us that if God is to grow in us, we must di-minish (Jn 3:30). This is
echoed in Jesus’ message today. Allow your disciple-ship to be great — to glorify God and build up His King-dom, but do so quietly and by serving those who are most often overlooked. Catholic Diocese of Wichita
