Rev. Amy Welin (21 Pentecost/Proper 24): Whom will you serve?
We live in a world that values independence and accomplishment. Many of us find the concept of being a servant unpalatable. We like to think that we do not serve anyone. And yet, we do.
Many have been observing the actions of Pope Francis this year. He embraces simplicity. He declined to live in the papal palace, choosing to live in a modest apartment. He rides in Fiats and not limousines. I imagine that he is a nightmare for his security team, as he tends to mingle with ordinary people, as well as to advocate for them. He goes to lunch with the homeless and visits tenements.
His image is all about living as a servant of God and humanity.
Do you have an image to maintain? Many of us do. How do you feel about cultivating the image of servant?
