And Follow Jesus! 📖 Success Means Nothing to a Lost Soul | HALF HEART Feb 21

Welcome to Half Heart’s Daily Mass Scripture Readings for Friday, February 21, 2025, in the Sixth Week of Ordinary Time. The people of Babel sought greatness apart from God, and their plans collapsed. Jesus calls us to a different path—to embrace the cross, to deny selfish ambition, and to trust in His wisdom. Though surrendering to God’s will may be difficult, it is the only path to true fulfillment and eternal life. 📌 Support Half Heart:    / @half-heart   📌 Subscribe Today:    / @half-heart   📖 Today’s Readings Challenge Us to Seek God’s Will Above Our Own: 🛑 Genesis 11:1-9 – The Tower of Babel: Humanity, in its pride and ambition, tries to build a tower to heaven. God confuses their language, scattering them across the earth, teaching us that true unity comes not through human efforts, but through obedience to Him. 🎵 Psalm 33 – Blessed the People the Lord Has Chosen: The plans of the Lord stand forever, while human plans fall apart without God. ✝️ Mark 8:34-9:1 – The Call to Discipleship: Jesus tells His followers, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” He reminds us that clinging to worldly success means nothing if we lose our souls. 📖 Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:29 🛑 First Reading – Genesis 11:1-9 03:10 🎵 Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 33 04:10 ✝️ Alleluia 04:20 ✝️ Gospel – Mark 8:34-9:1 06:00 📿 Reflection 🙏 Let us surrender our ambitions and follow Christ with all our hearts. ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Music: "VOICE OF PRAYER" by "Noel Malekar" Video Link:    • [No Copyright Music] CHURCH MUSIC | G...   Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJkK...
