Jeremiah 18:18-20, Ps.31,
Matthew 20:17-28

Incomprehension

One of the hardest things Jesus had to bear must have been the loneliness. Even his closest friends simply did not understand what he was telling them. Today we see Jesus approaching the final horrors of his passion and death, and his disciples are jockeying for position and arguing among themselves. Could we pray today for those suffering from a similar sense of loneliness and isolation?
