MatinsGospel Reflection
We cannot serve God and money;
we cannot be slave to two masters.
So we shall enter by the narrow gate.
The gate is wide that leads to perdition,
and many go that way.
But the gate to life is small, the road is narrow,
and those who find it are few.
With us it is impossible, but not for God.
Only God can save us.
Gospel Reading - Life lost for the gospel
34Then he called his disciples and the crowds to come over and listen. “If any of you wants to be my follower,” he told them, “you must put aside your own pleasures and shoulder your cross, and follow me closely. 35If you insist on saving your life, you will lose it. Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live.
36“And how does a man benefit if he gains the whole world and loses his soul in the process? 37For is anything worth more than his soul? 38And anyone who is ashamed of me and my message in these days of unbelief and sin, I, the Messiah,a will be ashamed of him when I return in the glory of my Father, with the holy angels.”
. . . . .Mark 8:34-38- Literally, “the Son of Man.”
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
