Today we celebrate the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time and also Heritage Sunday in our PNC Church.
Today’s Gospel shows us the example of the two apostles: James and John who misinterpreted what Jesus is saying about the Kingdom of God and the position of the leaders in it. They recognize this Kingdom in the terms of human Kingdom and they think of the good position in it, but Jesus tells of the Kingdom which is contrary to the values of this world. And position of someone in that state is absolutely different because when you are as Jesus Christ who came to serve, not to be served, you are the greatest one in the Kingdom of God.
The Baptism and the Eucharist start our own fate of suffering and dying for others – this is a realization of the commandment of love. To give everything for others especially our private lives, this reminds us that both of these sacraments are forms of dying of oneself in order to live for and in Christ.
