SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
"My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You." Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

We ask the archangel Michael’s intercession for help against Satan’s attacks on family and community in our world.

FORMED.org Gospel Reflection
Mark 9:30-37

Even though Jesus just told the disciples that he is going to the sacred city of Jerusalem to suffer ridicule and death, they choose to spend the journey talking about which among them is the greatest. They are not thinking with the mind of the Lord. Why do the disciples fail to realize the nature of the journey to Jerusalem and the cross? Once we lose sight of the destination or goal of our journey, we usually get lost. This is what happened to the disciples spiritually. As they traveled to Jerusalem, they were thinking of power, namely, those who had the most importance among themselves. We, like the disciples, can lose sight of the real spiritual significance of life and the Father’s call for us, if we do not remain in the presence of Jesus as we journey toward the heavenly Jerusalem. The disciples teach us that we must stay with Jesus if we want to be with him in Heaven.

"If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all." MARK 9:35
Jesus teaches us that we are called to love one another.  Love involves sacrifice. Sacrifice is a word that many of us don't like to hear. We think it means that we must give up something that we want.  However, the literal meaning of sacrifice is "to make holy," from the words "sacer" sacred and "facere" = to make.   In other words, we make our lives holy by sharing our gifts in the service of God.

True Wisdom
He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” -Mark 9:35

Adults: what evidence do you see in the world around you that many do not accept Jesus’ teaching on power and ambition?
Children: why do you think Jesus says if you want to be first you should take care of others?
