Gospel
Mark 9:30-37
Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me
Jesus and his disciples made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know, because he was instructing his disciples; he was telling them, ‘The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men; they will put him to death; and three days after he has been put to death he will rise again.’ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.
They came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, ‘What were you arguing about on the road?’ They said nothing because they had been arguing which of them was the greatest. So he sat down, called the Twelve to him and said, ‘If anyone wants to be first, he must make himself last of all and servant of all.’ He then took a little child, set him in front of them, put his arms round him, and said to them, ‘Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.’
Reflection
What is our purpose on earth to glorify God or to glorify. In the first part Christ talk about how he will be put. The disciples could not understand because they were fighting who is the greatest.
Christ answered to be the greatest we must be like little children who are nobody on earth. Remember we are here for one purpose to glorify God. Do you feel you are humble enoungh on earth?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus help us to have a humble of heart so that we can see you.
Amen
