Titus 2:1-8,11-14
Psalm 36(37):3-4,18,23,27,29
Luke 17:7-10
Our mission is to serve God and humanity
When you are given an office prepare for your successor for any success without a successor is a failure. The first reading comes with a warning especially to those who are called to serve. It says it is for us to preach the behavior which goes with healthy doctrines. We are mere servants only God is indispensable.
Today the Church celebrates one of the greatest Pope in the history of the Church thus far. Someone that understands true leadership -Pope Leo the great. He.was a true shepherd and pastor of souls.. He defended the unity of the Church and also the invasion He wrote a lot of pastoral letters and encouraged everyone to serve God in humility and thanksgiving. The Samaritan leper is a good example of an attitude of gratitude for he came back to give thanks to God.
St. Leo the Great -pray for us. Amen
