<p>22:25 <i>And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them, and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors</i>- We must be aware that in helping people, be it in teaching them the Truth of Christ, or in materially supporting them in their needs, we must never allow our position of &lsquo;superiority&rsquo; become a vehicle for abusing their person, however unintentionally. The Lord in Lk. 22:25 spoke of how in the world, &ldquo;benefactors&rdquo; have power over people. His idea seems to have been: &lsquo;If you show generosity in the world, you have authority over others; but you, after my example, must show generosity to others in humble acts of service but not expect authority over others as a result of this&rsquo;. The giving of help or welfare in any form should therefore never become a source of control over another person. Their integrity and independence as a person must never be in this sense &lsquo;abused&rsquo; by us or simply lost sight of, because we have helped them. Peter took due note of this teaching, repeating it in 1 Pet. 5:3.</p>
