Today, we read CCC, 1897 - 1927 and discuss authority and the common good. Jesus told his apostles - the first bishops, the first leaders of the Church - "I have come not to be served but to serve," and he bids them do likewise. All authority figures, whether religious or secular, whether at the global, national, or local level, are called to do the same. We each will meet the Lord at the end of our lives, and we will be asked how we treated those entrusted to our care and our prayers... May we love and serve those entrusted to us well, and may we pray often and well for those to whose care we are entrusted! This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
