🌿 Midweek Reflection: Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost – Year B
Wednesday, October 2, 2024

📖 Scripture Focus:
In Mark 10:2-16, Jesus teaches about the importance of protecting the vulnerable and trusting in God like a child. He challenges us to welcome others with love and humility, reminding us that “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” This passage encourages us to create spaces of belonging, where people are valued and loved.

🙏 Prayer:
Gracious God, help us to welcome others with the same love and openness You extend to us. Teach us to trust You with childlike faith, and to protect and nurture those who need our care.

💡 Reflection:
Who in your life could benefit from a spirit of welcome and acceptance? How can you embody Christ’s invitation to love and protect the vulnerable this week?
