#WhoeverIsNotAgainstUsIsForUs #KindsOfFriends #WaysOfTheHolySpirit #QuailFromTheLord TOPIC: DO YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT FRIENDS? First Reading: Numbers 11:25-29 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 19:8, 10, 12-13, 14 Second Reading: James 5:1-6 Alleluia: John 17:17B, 17A Gospel: Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48 In today’s gospel reading, Jesus’ disciples try to prevent someone from doing the Lord’s work just because he is not one of them. Jesus gives them a stern rebuke: “Do not prevent him… for whoever is not against us is for us” (Mark 9:39-40). Jesus asks us to examine our relationships, the people we associate with, the people who come into our lives in different ways. This is the 537th 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.
