Hi! and happy holy day to all of us; and, it's just 103 days to go before Christmas, GUYS. Our today's first-thing-first:
1st Reading : Isiah 50:4-9
Psalm : Psalm 116:1-9
2nd Reading : James 2:14-18
Gospel : Mark 8:27-35
"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, to profess faith without showing works? Such faith has no power to save you." - James 2:14
(It is necessary to have faith to be saved, but following CHRIST cannot be theoretical; it must be shown in action, in deeds. CHRIST himself says the same thing in Matthew 7:21: "Not everyone who says, 'Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven.")
