Tuesday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time
All who aspire for heaven, who claim it as their right shall know only the fires of hell, for those of great ambition shall know only failure in the end. Those who yearn for success in this life but ignore the life yet to come shall fade away into the great darkness. Only those who are humbled to the ways of the world shall know salvation through you, Lord Jesus. Amen.
Sirach 2:1-11
Psalms 37:3-4, 18-19, 27-28, 39-40
Mark 9:30-37
