Diakonia Series Learning Path: LA Congress
Class
Christ, King and Lord of the universe, made himself the servant of all, for he came “not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (cf. Luke 20:28) For the Christian, “to reign is to serve him,” particularly when serving the poor and the suffering, in whom the Church recognizes the image of her poor and suffering founder. The People of God fulfills its royal dignity (cf. 1 Peter 2:9) by a life in keeping with its vocation to serve with Christ. (CCC, 786) The Diakonia Series extends to us an invitation to a life of service by imitating Christ, our Lord. Welcome to Diakonia Series.
