Rev Fr. Paul Beukes OMI
Parish Priest
Lord make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, joy. Amen
29th Ordinary Time Year B
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
As Christians, we are challenged to resist the insidious attractions of fame and prestige and imitate the kind of servant leadership of Jesus, who gave
“His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). It is in this way that we become great in God’s eyes. This kind of service does not need to be accompanied by extraordinary or spectacular gestures. When we take a look around, we will find multiple examples of it all around us. We are able to find it in our home, parish church and our society in which we live. This kind of service makes itself known in little unrecorded and unremembered acts of kindness and love.
