Mark 9:33-37 NKJV
Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house, He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?” But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”
Almighty and everlasting God, mercifully grant unto your church that deadly pleasures may be cast aside, and that it may rather rejoice in the gladness of your eternal salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (The Leonine Sacramentary)
HUMILITY
William G. Schell
Humility, thou secret vale, unknown to proud in heart; where showers of blessing never fail, and glories ne’er depart.
Humility, how pure thy place! Thou seat of holiness! Thou door of entrance into grace and everlasting bliss!
Humility, how calm the breast that knows thy peace sublime! Within thy courts our perfect rest grows sweet all the time.
Humility, thou shoreless sea of perfect love so deep! Thy crystal waters cover me, my helpless soul to keep.
Oh, make thy blest abode with me, thou angel of the sky; if I may ever dwell with thee, my soul shall never die.
Depth of Mercy! Can There Be?
