Reflection

Who is the most important in the Church? The Pope, the bishops, the monsignors, the cardinals, the pastors of the most beautiful parishes, the presidents of lay associations? No! The greatest in the Church are those who make themselves servants of all, those who serve everyone, not those who have titles.
And to help us understand this, he took a child and placed him in their midst; and embracing him with tenderness—because Jesus spoke with tenderness, he had so much of it—he said to them, “whoever receives a child, receives me.” That is, whoever welcomes the most humble, is the one who serves the most. This is the path. There is only one path against the spirit of the world: humility. Serving others, choosing the last place, not climbing the ladder.
Greatness in the Church comes from service
Pope Francis
