WHAT IS OUR DESIRE?
They think that being the Messiah means glory and power, but Jesus defines it in terms of suffering and death on a cross.  
Deacon John Ruscheinsky
We compare ourselves with others and oftentimes desire their praise. The appetite for glory and greatness seems to be inbred in us. Who doesn't cherish the ambition to be "somebody" whom others admire rather than a "nobody?" Even the Psalms speak about the glory God our Father has destined for you and I. "You have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor" (Ps 8:5). We also read in today's Responsorial Psalm how important we are to our heavenly Father. "Cast your care upon the Lord, and He will support you" (Ps 55:23).
Jesus Christ predicts His suffering, death, and Resurrection three times in the Gospel of Mark. Each time the disciples fail to understand what He means. They think that being the Messiah means glory and power, but Jesus defines it in terms of suffering and death on a cross. Because of this, Jesus follows up His prediction with a corrective teaching to help them understand. He emphasizes His teaching that in order to be first, one must be last and, not only that, but one must be a servant of all.
Jesus uses a little child to illustrate what He means. He points to a child as an example of what a disciple should be; He is pointing to the lowest status available. This is what it means to be a servant of all. It is all about following Jesus, Who will give His life for others, with no desire for power, glory and wealth. It is a very difficult and challenging teaching for them and us, today. Jesus, Himself, is our Model. He came not to be served, but to serve (cf. Mt 20:28), and St. Paul tells us that "He emptied Himself and took the form of a servant" (Phil 2:7). God opposes the proud, but gives grace to His humble children.
