Sunday 19 September

25^th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Wisdom 2:12, 17-20; Psalm 54;
James 3:16-4:3; Mark 9:30-37

Let’s get our priorities right

Jesus talks to his friends about what is going to happen to him. Confused, they argue about who is the most important. So Jesus takes a child and explains that how they treat children is how they treat him. Children had no value and were powerless in his time. In our country thousands of our children live below the poverty line. Overseas thousands of children die every day. Jesus teaches us to see and serve him in the poor, vulnerable and powerless. We argue about church buildings. Reach out and help a child or powerless person this week.
