service of others

Mary called herself
the “handmaid of the Lord”

Putting herself at God’s service
she also put herself
at the service of others

                    Letter to Women, Message of His Holiness
                    POPE JOHN PAUL II, July 10

coffee, tea, or milk
what could i get you
would you like fries with that
do you need another beer
here, let me take care of that for you
i did your laundry this morning
i hope your eggs aren’t too cold
let me wash your feet
