Maria, halimbawa ng katapatan ng isang lingkod

Luke 10:25-37 


The true lay leader is a generous lay leader who offers time, talent and treasure to love the other whom God loves.

a loyal leader is a neighbor in three forms:

1.  kapibahay - based on territory, a leader will exert effort to take care of his community.  He will involve himself to be an asset to his community;

2.  kapwa - a person in need of one's kindness; a leader will have the heart for his neighbor (Mary and Elizabeth); he will gear himself so that his community will be a living church in the midst;

3.  kapwa kalooban - intersubjectivity, when our hearts connect with one another and with God's heart.  Because of Mary's love for God, her only desire was to completely offer her life so we can love Jesus.  The leader is like Mary and Jesus in the manner by which we can offer our very own lives because of love for God and our neighbor.

For its practical application, offering of oneself need not be that enormous; just a contribution of oneself in terms of time, talent, and treasure would suffice if given out of complete love.
