Spiritual Assistants

Picture
That no one should take Superiorship upon himself.

I did "not come to be ministered unto, but to minister,"
says the Lord. 
Let those who are set above others glory in this superiority only as much as if they had been deputed to wash the feet of the brothers; and if they are more perturbed by the loss of their superiorship than they would be by losing the office of washing feet, so much the more do they lay up treasures to the peril of their own soul.
~ Admonitions of St Francis
