Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Serving Jesus” – Authenticity: In today’s Gospel, Jesus said to His disciples, “Anyone who is not against us is for us.” Ponder on, “‘Competitions’ within the church to outdo each other, often come from our emotions and/or the bad spirits’ influence; and they cause divisions. We are called to strive sincerely and humbly to serve God’s Will; will we bring unity and peace to all peoples.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 9:38-40
John said to Jesus, ‘Master, we saw someone who is not one of us driving out devils in your name, and because he was not one of us we tried to stop him.’
But Jesus said, ‘You must not stop him; no one who works a miracle in my name is likely to speak evil of me. Anyone who is not against us is for us.’
