Epistle: James 3:13 - 4:3, 7-8a
Gospel: Mark 9:30-37
___
We give you all thanks and praise, O God, for your wisdom and humility are the source of true greatness and you draw near to all who draw near to you. In every age you have revealed your wisdom to the humble and insignificant ones and hidden it from the arrogant and violent. In your Son, Jesus, you showed us that true greatness is known in servanthood, and that the way of wisdom is found in childlike simplicity. Betrayed into hostile hands and killed, he rose again and called us to follow him, putting aside selfish ambitions and walking in the ways of peace, mercy and humility. Amen.
