“To keep alive the desire to share the same joy, it would be good if we too begin by remembering: what is our role in the midst of the People that pilgrim by our side? (…)
Perhaps we do not insist enough (…) on this fundamental value of the Gospel, which makes us want to be servants in the manner of Jesus: "I am in your midst as one who serves" (Lk 23:27).
This feeling of ourselves as servants of one another (and not bosses or officials) is related to the Passion of the Lord. (…) This is the proper trait of a minister. (…)
Today we would paraphrase: shepherds with the smell of sheep, close to the people, merciful to everyone, exercising the mission entrusted to us with suitability and tenderness.
It is about our life, our witness as servants in the midst of the People of God, servants that lead to an encounter with Christ. Because where we meet Jesus the servant, there the same joy is shared.” (Fr. Gustavo Agín SCJ)
