Whoever wants to serve me, let him follow me and wherever I am, there shall
my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
Reflection:
Dying as a way to fruitfulness seems absurd at the present age,
where preoccupation of the self takes center stage. But there is no other way
to growth. We have to give up what we have been comfortable in order to
give way to a much better change in us. Take for example human growth.
Each stage has a crisis of change that one has to successfully navigate in
order to grow in maturity. To die is to live into a much better life. It is not
physical death yet, rather dying of the existential kind. The ultimate death
that we will experience is physical death that leads us to a much better life in
the spirit. But in between, there will be a series of death experiences that
gives depth and weight to our existence.
