A number of years ago a Cardinal Lege was the Catholic Archbishop of the diocese of Montreal. He stunned the Roman Catholic Church by announcing he was stepping down from his position, taking off his Episcopal robe, to go serve in a leper colony. How do you explain it? Here was a prince of the church going to do the work of the most humble parish priest. Said Cardinal Lege: Only those who love understand me.

We don't need robes of sophistication to be in service. When we wear these robes too long, we lose sight of the sovereignty of God and we fail to see that we are but a humble guest at the Kings great banquet.
