Today’s gospel is like a scary house
filled with frightening images—millstones around the neck and thrown into the
sea, limbs cut off, eyes plucked out and devouring worms and fires. St. Mark seems to be ahead of the curve when
it comes to negative, ad campaigns.
Not really! That sentence in the middle of it all reveals
his real purpose, “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to
sin . . . “ Mark wants to wake us up from
our sleepwalking so we don’t trip over all the precious gifts around us. With all his scary talk, he wants to frighten
us into taking nothing for granted.
We’ve got to watch what we say and do, so that we don’t miss any
opportunity to see our precious gifts and stamp them for the special handling
they deserve.
In our parish, our
precious gifts are stamped: KidsRelig
