25th 2018 Wednesday 16th Week of Ordinary Time - St. James

Reflection
2 Corinthians 4:7-15, Matthew 20:20-28

“St. James, the Apostle”
Today, the world continues to consider people great and mighty because of their power, success, fame and wealth. Yet, Jesus does not consider these as things to be considered for greatness. What counts for greatness and power is when we serve God and others with love and humility.

Today, we celebrate the feast of St. James who learned from Jesus, his Master what greatness and power really meant. After the death and resurrection of Jesus, St. James served the early church with passion and dedication. In the end, he was the first among the apostles to suffer martyrdom (Acts 12:1-2).

Today, let us learn from this great Saint and take the step to desire and choose to be great in God’s sight.

Question for reflection:
1) How can I serve God and others with more love and humility today?
