Reflection from Dynamic Catholic



Readings from USCCB.org


Alleluia

Mk 10:45

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The Son of Man came to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

Mk 10:35-45 or 10:42-45

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him,
"Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." 
He replied, "What do you wish me to do for you?" 
They answered him, "Grant that in your glory
we may sit one at your right and the other at your left." 
Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. 
Can you drink the cup that I drink
or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" 
They said to him, "We can." 
Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink, you will drink,
and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;
but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give
but is for those for whom it has been prepared." 
When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John. 
Jesus summoned them and said to them,
"You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles
lord it over them,
and their great ones make their authority over them felt. 
But it shall not be so among you.
Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. 
For the Son of Man did not come to be served
but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."

O/P: Those Darn Toxic Traddies!

By Catholic Cyber-Militia
I'm a traditional Catholic.  A " Traddie ," as friends and detractors alike label us.  I wear the badge of Beware the Toxic Traddie! "Traddie" with joy.  Being a Traddie offers stability, sanity, and context in these days of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval for our beloved Church.  I encourage my friends in the real world to discover the joys of the Traditional/Extraordinary Form of the Mass, and I endeavor to encourage my acquaintances in the Catholic Blog-O-Sphere to do likewise. One consistent criticism leveled against Traddies is that we lack charity.  There is some substance to this.  Welder Chick, our OHCA foundress of happy memory, pointed out this shortcoming on more than one occasion, and she was right. The characterization is often overplayed by non-Traddies, who act as if they consider this character flaw sufficient grounds for dismissing traditional Catholics in their entirety.  Yes, there are cranky Traddies out there who lack c...

Teach me your paths, my God, and guide me in your truth. R. Alleluia, alleluia.   Gospel Matthew 5:17-19 Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven."
