#BoastingAboutTomorrow #Planning #God #Love #Contentment #Success TOPIC: ARE YOU CONTENTED AND BOASTFUL OF YOUR SUCCESS? First Reading: James 4:13-17 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 49:2-3, 6-7, 8-10, 11 Alleluia: John 14:6 Gospel: Mark 9:38-40 Success can make us proud and arrogant, short-sighted and presumptuous of the future. A dreaded disease, a debilitating accident, a financial catastrophe — something dismaying — makes us realize that life is fragile and success is fleeting. We look for the most important thing in life to shield us from cockiness and overconfidence. We consult, collaborate and conform to the will of God to keep us on the ground and to keep our soul atop the clouds. This is the 687th installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
