Understand What Jesus Tells Us About Devotedness in Serving

Understand What Jesus Tells Us About Devotedness in Serving. Come and Share Your Master’s Joy! Today’s Gospel is at a point where Jesus is instructing His Church on the final things. He is in Jerusalem during his last week in this life. To help His disciples He tells them a parable about a master who is going away for a while. In speaking to His disciples Jesus is also speaking to us. As we know Jesus dies, rises and ascends into heaven. He will be away for a while. In the meantime, as in the parable, there are those who are sent forward in their master’s name. Today’s Gospel might at first glance be confusing as the Church places before us in the first reading the description of a good wife. Why does the Church pair that reading with the Gospel? Today’s opening prayer tells us what the Church is thinking. The prayer (not included within this audio) tells us there is a great joy in serving the Lord. We ask in the prayer for an increase in devotedness because happiness is found in servicing the Lord. When we hear these words in the prayer, we understand more about the first reading. Serving and caring about one another is a joy. Listen to Understand What Jesus Tells Us About Devotedness in Serving.
