The greatest among you must be your servant.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;
but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Taken from today's gospel reading (Matthew 23:1-12) this passage reminds me to spend more of my time being a servant to others. It's so easy for me to get caught up in an attitude of selfishness, wishing that someone else would clean that toilet for a change. Or think that maybe I don't need to do that load of laundry right now. And, really, I just did the dishes. Do I have to do them again already?
However, if my deep desire is to become closer to God then I need to find a way to change my heart and become more like Christ. I need to do all I do as if I'm doing it for God. I know it's not easy. But by reading scripture, studying, praying, and receiving the Sacraments it will become more attainable. Christ would not have asked this of me if it were impossible.
