Today’s readings

“Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?”  That’s a loaded question if ever there was one.  But just like James and John, all of us Christian disciples will indeed drink of Jesus’ chalice.  And just like James and John, we will have to accept all that comes with it.  Yes, we will get a place in the kingdom, but yes, it will also mean for us that we will get hardship, suffering, and grief.  We must drink the chalice if we would have the reward that Jesus came to give. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
