Be Careful What You Ask For

Be Careful What You Ask For
A Lenten Minute Reflection for Wednesday, March 4, 2015 
by Dcn Bob Bonomi

Today's Gospel might be titled, "Be Careful What You Ask For".  Jesus has just told His Apostles what's going to happen to Him shortly, and it's not going to be pretty. Yet, the only thought in their minds is jockeying for positions of honor. And it must have been in all of their minds. Maybe the other 10 were upset that they didn't think of it first?

How often do we jump into situations without understanding what will be asked of us? As Christians, Jesus makes it clear to us where the true honor lies: serving others without counting the cost.  This is what we should seek; do we really understand what we're asking?
