One of the greatest examples of servant are those who serve God with Love. Those who serve at the altar, those who teach and preach, who lead the mass, gives sacraments, provide care for others, sing and praise, etc. We even have saints whom dedicated their whole life and heart to Jesus, and by serving Him.
Let St. Tarcisius be my main example, a boy who served and dedicated his life to God. He volunteered to carry the Eucharist to the imprisoned Christians, but on his way he was faced with a hostile gang of pagan youths(his so-called playmates) who demanded to see what he's carrying, in which St. Tarcisius had refused. And they'd beat him up, there Tarcisius had lay holding and protecting the Eucharist at hand.
I personally had no recognition of St. Tarcisius until I became an altar server. Learning about his courage, love, faith, and dedication to God moved something deep within me. He showed me what it truly means to be a faithful servant, and I was inspired by his example.
I admit that I am not the greatest nor the best and that I am far from perfect. There have been many times when I failed to do what I was supposed to do as a servant of the Lord. However, St. Tarcisius reminds me that being a faithful servant does not mean being perfect. It means having the courage to keep serving, learning from our mistakes, and staying devoted to God.
St. Tarcisius, Patron Saint of altar servers, had inspired many to be like him. I am one of those whom he had inspired and I hope you will be too.
