Mark 8 : 31-38

   
31 And he began to teach them,
that the Son of man must suffer many things,
and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests,
and scribes, and be killed,
and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly.
And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples,
he rebuked Peter, saying,
Get thee behind me, Satan:
for thou savourest not the things that be of God,
but the things that be of men.
34 And when he had called the people unto
him with his disciples also, he said unto them,
Whosoever will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it;
but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's,
the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me
and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.




Today's Prayer...



Father in heaven,,

We thank you for giving us light.
We thank you for the great hope for a day whose
light is not of our making,
whose source is in you,
a day to come that can touch our lives already today.
Keep our hearts steadfast,
free of all human wavering.
May we always hold to the love you have given
through your grace,
and may we find joy in your love,
which is full of light and understanding.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
