Bulletin Shorts for the Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time – 12 September 2021  

Isaiah 50:4c-9a.  Psalm 116:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9.  James 2:14-18.  Mark 8:27-35.  

Deny.  Take.  Follow.  On the long journey to Jerusalem, Jesus clarifies that following the Christ (Peter’s response to Who am I?) requires denying self, taking up the cross, and following.  Saint James helps make this clear with the need for mercy activity.  Reread the Second Reading each day this week.  

• Clothe the naked.  What will I do?  
• Feed the hungry.  What will I do?  
• Shelter the homeless.  What will I do?
