2024-09-22 Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Today we hear James warn against selfish ambition, while the
disciples quarrel over which one of them is the greatest. Jesus
tells them the way to be great is to serve. Then, to make it
concrete, he puts in front of them a flesh-and-blood child. We are
called to welcome the children God puts in front of us, to make room
for them in daily interaction, and to give them a place of honor in the
assembly.
