TWENTY-SIXTH WEEK OF THE YEAR
MONDAY OF THE TWENTY-SIXTH WEEK OF THE YEAR (Luke 9:46-50) The quest for power in all its various forms seems to be deeply imbedded in human nature. Our Lord gives us an example of powerlessness. He tells us about His powerlessness towards His enemies. Not only that He gives us the example of being a child if we are really going to follow Him. How different would be the history of the Church and our own following of the Lord if we had followed this command. With power comes arrogance. Power by its nature breeds a sense of complete independence. Power misused lords it over people and eventually leads to a disrespect for people. Power can become a slave master before whom we kneel.
