James 5:1-6, Ps 49, Mark 9:41-50

Little ones

Little ones refer to those excluded in Jesus’ time. Women, the poor, outcasts and children. His concern for them is obvious. The consequences for those who keep the little ones away sound dire. Today many feel unwelcome in our churches. Less than 12% of people who identify themselves as Catholics go to church regularly on a Sunday. Maybe it’s time to examine what we need to change. What can I do differently to care for the little ones?
