The gospel reading for today focused on the idea of Jesus coming to us not for us to be his servants, but for him to serve us. The whole idea of humbling himself before us. The idea of God stooping down to us as he does in the psalms from time to time, to help us, to lift us up.
And we are in turn called to do the same for our brethren. To humble ourselves before our fellow human beings and especially those human beings who cause us the most trouble.
To serve, not to be served. To humble oneself.
Thinking on that I know of someone at work that has caused me a great deal of trouble in the past that I think I need to do this with. Lent is the perfect time for such a thing.
I'll write back on what happens.
