Important People in Church
More Herb and Jamaal
This strip summarizes, I think, the attitude we all should have in Church. Rather than asking, "What can't I be doing X?" (be a priest, a lector, etc.), we should focus on being the best whatever we are that we can be. Not everyone is called to be a priest, but we may make a fine parent, or lector or just quiet parishioner who prays better than anyone else. We aren't all meant to be in the public eye at Mass, leading the congregation. If we were, there would no congregation.
So, as Saint Francis de Sales would urge, understand our role in life and do it to the best of our ability, "do the ordinary extraordinarily well" and that will offer God the greatest praise we can.
