The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
1st Reading: Titus 2:1-8, 11-14
Gospel: Luke 17:7-10
Who among you would say to your servant, coming in from the fields after plowing or tending sheep, ‘Go ahead and have your dinner’? No, you tell him, ‘Prepare my dinner. Put on your apron, and wait on me while I eat and drink. You can eat and drink afterward.’ Do you thank this servant for doing what you told him to do? I don’t think so. And therefore, when you have done all that you have been told to do, you should say, ‘We are no more than servants; we have only done our duty.’”
Reflection:
We are all servants in God’s vineyard.
Jesus continues to teach his disciples. In the Gospel, we have a master asking about the responsibilities of a servant. Jesus makes a point of telling his disciples what service to God is all about. We are all servants in God’s vineyard. We are called to perform our tasks faithfully and responsibly, according to what Jesus has asked of us in the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Whether we are rewarded or not, we should not grow weary nor feel entitled. After all, everything we have comes from God’s graciousness and is not merited by our worthiness. The most we can do is be grateful for all the graces and privileges given to us by our Master.
