Readings for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Isaiah 50:5-9a;  Mark 8:27-35The word Gospel, as we all know, means "Good News".  And while the Gospel is always good news, sometimes that news can also be hard.  Today is one of those days.  Isaiah shares with us the path of the Suffering Servant, which Christians see as a foreshadowing of the ministry of Jesus.  But if it's a foreshadowing of the ministry of Jesus, it also foreshadows our ministry.  Jesus confirms this by looking at you and I and reminding us that if we want to follow him, we need to pick up our cross and do so.  Hard words.  Being a follower of Jesus is not for the faint of heart.  Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music.  Also thank you to all of you for continuing to listen and break open God's Word with me.  I'm humbled and honored.  Have a question or comment?  I can be reached at [email protected].
