In this gospel, Jesus predicts his suffering and death.  At the same time, Jesus is able to focus on what He is supposed to do now without worrying too much about the death he will face.  How is He able to do this?  By living in the present.  We likewise need to live in the present.  Based on the readings of Wisdom 2: 12-20; James 3: 16-4:3; and Mark 9: 30-37.

The gospel today says that the disciples left Jesus.  Why did they leave?  The gospel explains that they thought Jesus’ teachings were too difficult to accept.  However, the 12 Apostles chose to remain with Jesus because they believed  He had the words of eternal life and that He was the Holy One of God.  In this vlog, Fr. MD discusses his thoughts.  Based on the readings of Joshua 42: 1-18; Ephesians 5: 21-32; & John 6: 60-69.
