Gospel: Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48 “Tolerance” |
|
John said to him, ‘Master, we saw someone who is not one of us driving out devils in your name, and because he was not one of us we tried to stop him.’
39 But Jesus said, ‘You must not stop him; no one who works a miracle in my name could soon afterwards speak evil of me.
40 Anyone who is not against us is for us.
41 ‘If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, then in truth I tell you, he will most certainly not lose his reward.
42 ‘But anyone who is the downfall of one of these little ones who have faith, would be better thrown into the sea with a great millstone hung round his neck.
43 And if your hand should be your downfall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than to have two hands and go to hell, into the fire that can never be put out.
45 And if your foot should be your downfall, cut it off; it is better for you enter into life lame, than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. READ MORE

My wife and I found ourselves unintentionally present at a protest march this past weekend.
We were spending a rare free morning wandering the streets of Philadelphia and were slowly making our way to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was a beautiful day: sunny, a light breeze and all sorts of people out doing all sorts of things.
We had just stepped out of the Rodin Museum and were winding our way down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway when we heard chanting.
“What are they saying?” I asked, noticing the small contingent of sign-wielding marchers. They, too, were making their way toward the art museum, maybe seventy people or so strong. READ MORE

Father Greg Boyle is becoming a mystic with the help of former gang members
If you attended a Jesuit university or high school in the last decade, you were most likely at some point assigned Father Greg Boyle’s first book (and a New York Times best-seller—so, you didn’t need to have attended a Jesuit school to encounter it) Tattoos on the Heart. Father Boyle is a Jesuit priest, the founder of Homeboy Industries and the author of a new book, The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness, which is scheduled to be released this fall.

Even some Catholic pro-lifers have concerns about Texas' abortion law
Like many Catholics with strong pro-life views, Steven Greydanus believes the unborn have a right to life, argues the state is morally obliged to protect them, and says Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 landmark ruling that declared abortion to be a constitutional right, is an "abomination."
