| Summary: | The article discusses the Gospel to be read on September 20 and taken from the Books of Proverbs 31:10-31, James 3:13; 4:3, 7-8 and Mark 9:30-37. These readings focus on man's desire for distinction of wealth, power or status, and the willingness to strive for its attainment. In James's writing, he shows that ambition is rampant in Christian communities, leading to quarrels and fighting. Ambition is also manifested by the Twelve Apostles as they journey to Capernaum. |
