MP3 Audio (excerpt)

Summary: People today do not want to be servants. They want high paying and prestigious jobs. But in the first reading, it says, “I am sending you my Servant.”

Family members must see themselves as servants to each other, or else the family falls apart. Each person has a vocation to serve the others. Pope John Paul II signed his messages, “the servant of the servants of God.” But the bad angel said, “I will not online casino canada serve.” There is a need in our society for servants. Thank God for people who provide menial services, who keep this world alive.”
