THE READINGS: Proverbs 31:10-31; Psalm 1; James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a; Mark 9:30-37
In today’s First Testament passage from Proverbs we hear the well-known passage spoken in praise of the “capable wife.” Similar rectitude toward the law of the Lord is also held out as an ideal in Psalm 1, which serves as an introduction to the entire Psalter. Mark’s gospel story tells of the second passion prediction as it includes Jesus’ teaching about true greatness and as he picks us a child and places her in their midst. The portion of the Letter of James pursues the question of the true identity of those who claim to be wise.
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: Give yourself some moments each day in the coming weeks to sit quietly with your eyes closed. Visualize Jesus kneeling down, opening his arms, and bringing you close to his heart. Let yourself be a little child who is welcomed. What do you notice?
