I spent the day with my gal-pal, Saint Faustina Kowalska, yesterday. It was her Feast Day, so I snuck away (alone) for the day to my happy place and immersed myself in the joy of having her in my life.

For those who have been faithful visitors to my blog you know there are posts littered throughout this space about her! (Inner Silence, This is not a Test, All about Helen to name just a few!)

Just claiming a few priorities…

We can serve others well when we actively decide to take on the role of a servant.

This seems obvious, but missing this step can lead to doing more harm than good.

When we study the life of Jesus, we find countless examples where he took on the role of the servant. From choosing to wash the feet of his disciples to the very decision of coming to earth and living as an ordinary human, Christ continually humbled himself for the sake of others and switched places with people, most times in the lowliest of positions.

Are we placing into Service those who are willing to do the same?

hugs n’ blessings to all those who value the meaning of Service.
