Wednesday – 8th Week of Ordinary Time B
In today’s gospel we hear Jesus foretell his betrayal, suffering, death and resurrection for the third time to the apostles. This episode follows that of the “rich man” who came to ask how it would be possible to acquire the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus spoke to him about getting rid of whatever keeps him from fully trusting God, and now Jesus is showing his apostles what true discipleship will look like, as it will involve pain and suffering.
