He came to serve Mark 10: 35 -45 I want to tell you a story, About sitting by Jesus’ side. They wanted the fame and the glory, So two brothers pulled Him aside. James and John asked Jesus, “Can we sit on your left and your right? Everyone in Heaven will see us, And it will be our biggest delight. ” “Do you even know what you’re asking? ” Are you willing to drink from my cup? Can you live the life that I’m living? From my baptism, could you even come up? ”

When the rest of the twelve overheard it, They got angry with John and James. Surely Jesus would see they were unfit, But why did they think He’d choose their names? So He gathered all twelve around Him, And He spoke of what true greatness is. It’s not thrones, crowns, gold or gems, but serving others needs before His. Those who are greatest don’t look it. You would never guess who they are. They may look like a maid or a servant, But in God’s eyes they’re really a star. Jesus came down from Heaven to serve us, To wash our feet and our hearts alike. To teach, help, lead, and love us, And show us what greatness looks like.

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Reflect on what we have just heard about service and togetherness. Service Challenge Service with a smile Living a life of service is about keeping your eyes open and looking out for ways to make others smile- promoting togetherness and connectedness. Draw a large smiley snail. Can you fill in the spirals on the snail's shell with ways in which you or your family are making other people smile, staying connected with others or helping other people.

Let’s pray. Dear Lord, We give thanks for the people in our lives who help us. Please give us strength to reach out and connect to people who need us. We pray that everyone has reasons to smile and that everyone has someone to connect with. Amen.

Peace be with you. And also with you. Go in peace. Go in kindness. Go in love.
