Saturday of the 8th Week in Ordinary Time – June 1st 2024
Memory of Saint Justin, martyr
Homily
In our reading of Mark's Gospel, we have now reached chapter eleven, which began with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And in the story we are reading today, we have a fine example of Jesus' confrontation with the scribes and the elders of the people. A confrontation that will continue to escalate and lead to Jesus' death on the Cross.
