Tuesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time
We must not forget that true power, at whatever level, is service, which has its luminous summit on the cross. With great wisdom Benedict XVI reminded the Church many times that for man, authority is often synonymous with possession, dominion, success. For God, authority is always synonymous with service, humility, love. It means to enter into Jesus’ logic, who bends down to wash the feet of the apostles.
— Pope Francis
