Sometimes we suffer from identity in crisis.
We have a quest for identity.
To be identified for what we do and who we are.
We want to be remembered.
Step in from offstage: Simon of Cyrene. Noted in three of the four Gospels.
No matter which account you read they basically say the same thing.
But don’t mention all that much, really.
Why mention him at all?
Maybe to teach a little about remaining anonymous.
He isn’t special.
He does what others could have done.
He’s mentioned performing the type of task most of us wouldn’t remember.
“Many of us spend too much time trying to be unforgettable or do something remarkable. We feel resentment creeping into our gut when our efforts go unnoticed" (Sean Palmer).
