As a child

Daily Reading for September 20 • The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Let vanity be unknown among you.
Let simplicity and harmony and a guileless attitude
weld the community together.
Let each remind himself that he is not only subordinate
to the brother at his side, but to all.
If he knows this, he will truly be a disciple of Christ.

From On the Christian Mode of Life 8.1, quoted in Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture: New Testament II, Mark, edited by Thomas C. Oden and Christopher A. Hall (Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 1998).
