Now I order you to retain this creed for your nourishment throughout life and never to accept any alternative, not even if I myself were to change and say something contrary to what I am now teaching, not even if some angel of contradiction, changed into an angel of light, tried to lead you astray. For even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which you have now received, let him be accursed in your sight. – St Cyril of Jerusalem
MAY 17, 2016 – WEEK SEVEN – TUESDAY – THE EXTRA MILE – Flame of Love
(Mark 9: 30-37) Prayer: Jesus, teach me to be a little one, living in the simplicity of a child.
Imagination: (Picture Jesus, with his arms around a child, teaching his disciples.)
The disciples have just failed to drive out a demon. Now, they do not understand Jesus’ teaching about suffering. Worst of all, they argue about who is the most important. They neither think nor act as disciples.
