Jesus tells us in our Gospel reading this weekend that If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all. Many of us are in a position to put our lives at the service of others - whether we are blessed financially, with some talent, or simply the gift of time. We each have something to offer for the benefit of others and the Church. It is not uncommon for people to desire the first place in an organization or social situation. Perhaps one seeks attention among influential people in order to get a promotion or to receive special assignments, but are we ready to put the needs of others before our own once we get these promotions or special assignments? Regardless of our aim, our Lord warns us that if we do seek out these positions we must do so with humility and in an attitude of service to those with whom we will be working. Perhaps you have lived this in your own professional or personal life - taking on a particular role which has oversight of others. Those in charge of an organization generally must put the needs of their subordinates above their own. Avoiding Jealousy and Selfish Ambition Our second reading from James tells us that Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every foul practice. Have you noticed this in various groups or organizations to which you belong? When people become jealous or overly concerned with their own goals, that things in that group or organization just start to feel toxic? The overall mission of the group or organization is subverted and things become a mess. (continued on p.2)

2 WE ARE DISCIPLES: LEARNING, LOVING & LIVING CHRIST S MISSION James goes on to tell us that if we are living as disciples of Christ, that things should be pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without inconstancy or insincerity. This is a good litmus test for an organization or group. Is the group focused on good things? Is it focused on growing in holiness or is everyone focused on their own concerns? Serving Others Our Lord is clear that He expects His followers to be at the service of others, especially the vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, the poor, etc. In what ways are you currently serving the needs of others? In what ways could you be serving the needs of others? What is keeping you from serving in this manner? Church of the Blessed Sacrament seeks to be an invitational Church in which people feel welcomed Do you have a good marriage? Do you want to make it even better? Why not attend a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend and find out how you can make this happen? Future Marriage Encounter Weekends will be at Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House, Indianapolis, from October 2018 and from April 2019, and at Mount Saint Francis Centre for Spirituality, New Albany, from 1 3 February Visit for further information. WAYS TO CONNECT and as part of the family. How do you support this endeavor each weekend? We also seek to provide people with the opportunity to ask the questions that are on their heart. We do this especially through ALPHA. Have you participated in our ALPHA program? Have you encouraged others to participate in it? As you find your niche, we would love to hear from you about how you may feel called to serve the needs of our parish. Perhaps by joining one of our Connect Groups or participating more actively in certain ministries, you would have the opportunity to start putting your gifts and talents at the service of others.
