Think of
us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries. Moreover,
it is required of stewards that they should be found trustworthy. But with me,
it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court.
I do not even judge myself. I am not
aware of anything against myself but I am not thereby acquitted. The Lord
judges me. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord
comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will
disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive commendation
from God.
Father Liborio Amaral said that we can act as servants of Christ and stewarts of God's mystery. When we become stewarts, it is our decision to serve but not to
be served. A clergy is a stewart of God’s mystery and so does other sectors of the society. They are stewards of mysteries of faith, trustworthy and who bring faith in God to others. They do not ask what we can gain, but for Christ's sake and are called servants of the Lord.
