Gospel Reading: Mark 9:38-40
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.” Jesus replied, “Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me.” (Mark 9:38-39)
My freeing Lord, when I am jealous of others, especially when I am jealous of their good works, help me to see this as my sin.
Help me instead to look for the many wonderful ways that You are at work in our world, and help me to rejoice in all that You do through others.
Amen.
