BEING OF SERVICE=TO OTHERS
The one thing=
All good people
Especially all SAINTS
Have in common=
Is that
They like to be
OF SERVICE=to others=
They DEDICATE their lives
To the BENEFIT of human kind
Jesus Christ was the
EPITOME of this=but then again
He was=he is=the SON OF GOD=
The least we can do
Is FOLLOW in his footsteps
To the BEST
Of our ability
“Rather whoever
Wishes to be great
Among you-
Shall be your SERVANT=
Whoever wishes
To be first among you
Shall be your slave
Just so=the SON OF MAN
Did not come=to be SERVED
BUT TO SERVE
And give his life
As a ransom=for many” Matthew 20:26-28
SO MANY of us
Want to be great
In this world=
But so many of us
DON'T KNOW
What it takes
To be great
It takes SERVING OTHERS=
It takes giving our life
FOR THE MANY
It takes
BEING OF SERVICE=TO OTHERS
“But as for me
And my household=
We will SERVE THE LORD” Joshua 24:15
“No one can
SERVE two masters
Either you will hate
The one=
And love the other
Or you will be devoted
To the one and
Despise the other
You CANNOT SERVE
Both God and money” Matthew 6:24
Today we HONOR ONE
Who gave her life
As a SERVICE to others=
Saint Katharine Drexel (November 26th, 1858 to March 3rd, 1955)
She was BORN
Into one of the
WEALTHIEST families
In the United States
She could have been
ONE of the rich and famous=
But she DEDICATED
Her life for others=
She UNDERSTOOD
The good news of the Lord
“SERVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY-
As if you were SERVING
The Lord=not people........” Ephesians 6:7
Katharine enriched the
NEEDS of education
With her life
BUILDING schools=for
The impoverished=most notably
African American=and Native American children
MOST of us are
Not wealthy=but we can
BE OF SERVICE to others
In some little way
LIKE thee LITTLE FLOWER
And Saint Katharine Drexel
In Jesus' name=and in the name of our always SERVING HOLY FATHER GOD!
