Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48

This Sunday we hear Jesus tell his followers that "whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Wow. That is a strong admonishment and warning. Jesus is reminding us that the way we teat others, react to situations, and approach our daily tasks gives an example to those around us---for better of for worse. Jesus is very clear; if any of our habits or tendencies leads us or others to sin, we must root it out. This is a challenging call, but when accepted bears the fruit of eternal joy in Heaven.

On the way to Mass:  Who is someone you look up to?

On the way home from Mass: Whose footsteps or example do you try to follow?



Challenge of the Week: This week take time together to reflect on the example you provide to others. Perhaps walk through an examination on conscience to identify any ways you are providing a destructive example to those around you. Take advantage of the sacrament of Reconciliation as a family!
