Welcome back to another episode of Faith on the Go podcast.
Again, it’s been some time between our last episode. This last episode is from Sunday, September 22nd, the 18th Sunday after Pentecost.
Our readings from this episode are from:
First Reading Jeremiah 11:18-20
Second Reading James 3:13 –4:3, 7-8a
Gospel Mark 9:30-37
Today we hear James warn against selfish ambition, while the disciples quarrel over which one of them is the greatest. Jesus tells them the way to be great is to serve. Then, to make it concrete, he puts in front of them a flesh-and-blood child. We are called to welcome the children God puts in front of us, to make room for them in daily interaction, and to give them a place of honor in the assembly.
