Today we celebrate the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Gospel teaches us of the Christian Psychology which is completely different as the regular psychology. The human psychology says us that the people who are the first, who are the best, who have more money and who are the strong/ they are the Vip, the very important persons. Christ says us today – the servant’s attitude is for us to follow. The child – the smallest one in the world is the VIP in our Church and in the Kingdom of God. You have to recognize the last one in your community and be for him the servant.
The Eucharist is the place to recognize the serving way which is before us. We can receive the Christ in the small piece of bread when we find the small child on our daily way. We have only one opportunity to do this to go on by our faith and to prove it by our good deeds.
Reflections
- Foretold that the path of discipleship is suffering, how fearful am I? What form of suffering am I most fearful of?
- In my following Jesus, have I wanted to be first instead of last? What rewards do I look for in return for my service?
- Who are “the children” in my eyes? Are they the uneducated, the poor immigrants who “drain our resources ,” the immoral – low-in-spirit, the sinners, etc.? How do I recognize them in my midst? How do I receive them?

- “An act without purpose lacks something of the perfection of freedom, because freedom is more than a matter of aimless choice. It is not enough to affirm my liberty by choosing “something.†I must use and develop my freedom by choosing something good.â€. Thomas Merton – No Man is an Island)
- MY MISSION: When I am the disciple of Christ and the member of his Church I realize this and participate in all matters which concern Him. The Ordinary Season and the Sunday’s Masses are not my challenge but my privilege.

One Main Point
The time for His Passion is near. Jesus dedicates whatever time left to teach his apostles. He again predicts his death and resurrection. He instructs his students on the need for humility when serving each other. He raises the dignity of all those whom the apostles shall serve.
