24th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year B (2021)

Filed Under: Feasts Holy Days and Seasons

Sunday, September 12, 2021

The readings for the Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year B challenge us to open our minds and truly see how Jesus is both human and divine and recognize him as the source of our salvation. In the first reading (Isaiah 50:5-9A) we hear the prophecy in the Old Testament of how Jesus will save us by being a servant. The psalm (Psalm 116:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9) sings “For he has freed my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.” The second reading (James 2:14-18) tells us that we must follow Jesus in service to others. And in the gospel (Mark 8:27-35), Peter identifies Jesus as the messiah, and Jesus foretells his suffering and death.

Do I receive Jesus as my savior and allow him to change my heart? Here are some ideas:

St. Patrick’s Breastplate
St. Patrick's Breastplate is a prayer for protection and guidance. Christ is always with us providing us strength and wisdom.
Glow in the Dark Ring Toss (For youth group or VBS)
This is a fun easy game for any "light" themed youth ministry meeting or Vacation Bible School. It only requires a few materials - glow sticks and water bottles.
Jesus Christ has become what we are…
Jesus Christ, in His infinite love, has become what we are, in order that He may make us entirely what He is. - St Irenaeus
Faith without Works Is Dead
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
