And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."  And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,  "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."

Mark 9:35-37

Avoid the mainstream, look in a different way, find a new way ... Jesus challenges not only his disciples....

and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

23rd Sunday

 Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of the Decap'olis.  And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.  And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;  and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened."  And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.  And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.  And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

Mark 7:31-37

22nd Sunday

And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of  you, and understand: there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."

Mark 7: 14-15
