Mr 9:30-37
30Šli so od tam in prepotovali Galilejo, vendar ni želel, da bi kdo to izvedel.31Učil je namreč svoje učence in jim govoril: »Sin človekov bo izročen v človeške roke in ga bodo umorili, ko pa bo umorjen, bo po treh dneh vstal.« 32Oni niso razumeli te besede, vendar so se ga bali vprašati.
33Prišli so v Kafarnáum. Ko je bil v hiši, jih je vprašal: »O čem ste se menili med potjo?«34Oni pa so molčali, kajti med potjo so razpravljali med seboj, kateri izmed njih je največji. 35Tedaj je sédel, poklical dvanajstere in jim rekel: »Če kdo hoče biti prvi, naj bo izmed vseh zadnji in vsem služabnik.« 36In vzel je otroka, ga postavil mednje, ga objel in jim rekel: 37»Kdor sprejme enega takih otrok v mojem imenu, mene sprejme; kdor pa mene sprejme, ne sprejme mene, temveč tistega, ki me je poslal.«

Refleksija on Mr 9:30-37
Navdih - 2025-02-25 Dnevna molitev
Jesus had just told his disciples that he would be helpless against his enemies and would be put to death, but all this went over their heads. Human power and greatness were what mattered to them. So Jesus takes and embraces a little child as an example to them to cherish those who are powerless and dependent on others. The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life in service of others.
One of the great lessons on our Christian journey is the lesson of humility. St Teresa of Avila wrote, ‘Humility is truth.’ We all need to grow in the truth of our own littleness and complete dependence on God.
