Gospel
Mark 9:38-40
You must not stop anyone from working miracles in my name
John said to Jesus, ‘Master, we saw a man who is not one of us casting out devils in your name; and because he was not one of us we tried to stop him.’ But Jesus said, ‘You must not stop him: no one who works a miracle in my name is likely to speak evil of me. Anyone who is not against us is for us.’
Reflection
Why were the apostle upset? They were behaving in a normal way. They were envious because they do not want others to be better them. Today there are many who are envious when others are better than them. Only love through the power of the holy spirit can remove this enough.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus fill me with love so that my heart will not be filled with hate but full of love.
Amen
