St. Aidan's October-November 2021 ROTA-FINAL REVISED (9-28-21)

Thank You, Sharon Seidel
So Jesus called the disciples and said to them... "whoever wishes to become great among you must be a servant." Mark 10:42-43
The disciples obviously had a difficult time with Jesus' constant message that servanthood was the way they should live. We can understand their difficulty, since most of us struggle with that message too! But Jesus' message remains clear: to be a servant, to be a steward, is what he asks of each of us.
