In today gospel reading we are reminded of how to provide true "Christian Service". We ought to do it out of love irrespective of whether we receive praise or acknowledgement. Our primary motivation should be a duty of service. Our service must be fine out if love if others for we are just mere servants doing no more than our duty.
We pray for the grace to offer our service freely and with our whole heart out of love for our God and our neighbour. May we not seek a favourable reaction or praise but instead seek to find satisfaction in the very act of giving love alone.
