PRAYER AND REFLECTION SEPTEMBER 13, 2015 TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Read: Mark 8:27-35 When we start down a pathway, we don t always know where it s heading. Today s readings make it clear that being a Christian is more than just believing, more than a safe exercise in intellectual assent. Jesus had to confront his disciples with the reality of where his life was going and what that meant for them. And James tells the early Christians that faith without doing is dead. We must be willing to do more than profess our belief in Christ. Are we ready for that? We who profess to follow Jesus rely on prayer to strengthen us. And so we pray now for ourselves, for one another and for the whole world. For the courage, as baptized Christians, to follow where Jesus leads us we pray, For those willing to risk danger for others: for organ donors and first responders, missionaries and those in the military, law enforcement personnel and peaceful protesters we pray, For those who live in danger without adequate help or support: for people in areas of war or political conflict, in prisons or refugee camps, in violent neighborhoods or families we pray, For those who are afraid to take personal risks for others we pray, For parents and guardians who make great sacrifices for their children we pray, For grandparents who have assumed, at personal cost, the care of their grandchildren we pray, For all who are willing to walk the extra mile, give beyond their means, help when they are frightened or weary we pray, For the neediest among us; for the sick and dying; and for those who have died we pray, PRAYER: Make time to visit those on our prayer list. God our helper, you uphold us in times of turmoil and danger. Like your people of old, we call upon your name, and we ask for the courage to follow wherever Jesus leads us. We pray in the name of your son Jesus, the Chosen One. Amen. Celebration 2015

5 'Se alguém quiser ser o primeiro, que seja o último de todos e aquele que serve a todos!'. XXV Dom TC (Ano B): Sabedoria 2, ; Salmo 54(53); Tiago 3,16-4,3; Marcos 9,30-37 Jesus revela que seu messianismo se concretiza no serviço até a doação da própria vida: O Filho do Homem será entregue às mãos dos homens, e eles o matarão. Mas três dias após sua morte, ele ressuscitará (v.31). Os discípulos, preocupados em saber quem é o maior, não compreendem a mensagem do Messias sofredor. Querer ser o maior é ocupar o lugar de Deus. Cristo, com as predições da paixão, anuncia o caminho oposto através do despojamento e obediência até a morte na cruz. Sentado, como Mestre, ele proclama a novidade: Se alguém quiser ser o primeiro, que seja o último de todos e aquele que serve a todos (v.35). Jesus exorta a transformar a ambição do poder em atitude de serviço. Jesus coloca uma criança no meio dos discípulos, abraçando-a com amor, pois a criança desprotegida de ambição, é modelo de simplicidade e acolhimento à boa nova de Cristo. O verdadeiro discípulo acolhe Jesus como o Messias Servo, que enfrenta a morte para comunicar a vida plena a toda a humanidade. A 1ª leitura mostra que o justo, perseguido e humilhado, mas defendido por Deus, prefigura Jesus que em sua morte é socorrido pelo Pai. No salmo, a pessoa, em meio às aflições, clama por justiça e é levada pela confiança a fazer promessa de oferecer sacrifícios de ação de graças. Na 2ª leitura, a verdadeira sabedoria, que vem do alto, edifica a comunidade. Jesus, escolhendo ser o último e o servo de todos, ensina a viver o amor que supera as divisões e injustiças sociais. Seguindo seu exemplo e Palavra, possamos nos converter de toda a ambição de poder para sermos construtores de um mundo novo de paz e justiça.
