Wed 25th. (St Bede the Venerable; St Gregory VII; St Mary Magdalene de Pazzi). 1 Peter 1:18-25. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem—Ps 147:12-15, 19-20. Mark 10:32-45.
Readings What is true glory?
Today’s readings highlight the continuous struggle we find ourselves being pulled between, with the superficial, in the left corner, and the authentic, in the right. The Psalmist is urging us to praise the Lord, which on the surface sounds pretty easy. As James and John learn at the coalface however, it is much more challenging than initially anticipated (Mark 10: 38-41). The pair wishes to be seated on either side of Jesus and share in his glory, but Jesus reveals that it isn’t about reveling in power but enduring a lifetime of service. Similarly, Peter writes about an authentic, deep love, one, which endures forever (1 Peter: 1:25). Both seem attractive. The question is which side of the ring do you wish to be on: the superficial with its attractive easiness or the authentic with its enduring qualities?
