Paul’s basic instruction to Timothy is that the leader must not stand still but must progress and so provide encouragement for others.
This week, we hear Jesus tell the disciples, “whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me.”
Jesus must remind his disciples once again that the Kingdom demands a lot of the disciple. True greatness lies in service. True disciples take the side of those who are powerless.
The sorrows of Mary do not find their significance in the pain that they caused Mary, but rather in the faithfulness that they expressed. Jesus calls us to faithfulness also.
Think about the words of Mechthild of Magdeburg: “The Holy Spirit is our harpist/And all strings/Which are touched in Love/Must sound.”
Prayer for everybody is important because God wants everybody to be saved. Everybody should pray for everybody for the spread of the salvation offered for everybody.
While I am often goal-directed, I try to do something each day that neither toils nor spins, that doesn’t accomplish anything, that is simply joyful and fun. I believe God wants us to enjoy.
Being a follower of Christ is about being saved from sin. That’s what Paul’s life has been about: displaying the mercy of Christ. Paul is an example of what it means to be a beneficiary of Christ’s saving power.
We have all been called to serve Christ, and like Paul’s, our calling is not something we have deserved. It’s pure gift, and calls for our gratitude.
