Gospel : Mark 9:30-37

30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn't want anyone to know it,

31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."

32 But they didn't understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"

34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."

36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

37 "Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him who sent me."

Sirach 2:1-11 +

1 My child, when you come to serve the Lord,
prepare yourself for trials.

2 Be sincere of heart and steadfast,
and do not be impetuous in time of adversity.

3 Cling to him, do not leave him,
that you may prosper in your last days.

4 Accept whatever happens to you;
in periods of humiliation be patient.

5 For in fire gold is tested,
and the chosen, in the crucible of humiliation.

6 Trust in God, and he will help you;
make your ways straight and hope in him.

7 You that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy,
do not stray lest you fall.

8 You that fear the Lord, trust in him,
and your reward will not be lost.

9 You that fear the Lord, hope for good things,
for lasting joy and mercy.

10 Consider the generations long past and see:
has anyone trusted in the Lord and been disappointed?
Has anyone persevered in his fear and been forsaken?
has anyone called upon him and been ignored?c

11 For the Lord is compassionate and merciful;
forgives sins and saves in time of trouble.
