James 4:13-17; Psalm 49; Mark 9:38-40

In Jesus’ name

As it is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (as I write) our attitude to other Christian denominations comes to mind when Jesus says “no one who works a miracle in my name is likely to speak evil of me”. We can jealously guard our Catholic faith and not acknowledge that the Holy Spirit is also at work in many others, sometimes with gifts that we don’t have or don’t use. Can I rejoice that others work miracles in Jesus’ name? That others are bringing people to faith in God and Jesus in different denominations?
