                                                                                                               SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY’S GOSPEL                    

Maybe the disciples were afraid to ask Jesus because they didn't want to know anything more about the future which would involve death and resurrection. This little bit of knowledge of Jesus' future was almost too much for them.


The trusting nature of a child may have been an invitation to them to trust in Jesus even though the future was unknown. In prayer we can ask for the gift of this sort of trust for our own future.

 

 

 

The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 

1st READING WISDOM 2:12, 17-20

(The Just Are Persecuted)

The wicked detest the just one because the person of God disturbs their conscience. They are anxious to do away with the good, saying that God will care for them if they are really His.

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 54

(God Our Helper)

The Lord upholds my life

 

2nd READING JAMES 3:16-4:3

(Avoiding Conflicts)

Wisdom begets innocence. It is peace-loving, kind, docile, impartial, and sincere. The inner cravings of human beings lead to murder, envy, and squandering.

 

THE GOSPEL OF MARK 9:30-37

(Service of Others)

Jesus tells his trusted disciples of his forthcoming sufferings, death, and resurrection. Then he tells the Twelve about humility. To rank first, one must remain the last and be the servant of all.
