Dying to Live - The Gospel According to Mark: Following Jesus (Ch 8:31-38)

During this pandemic, we have seen great efforts to protect life, but often at the cost of truly living. In Mark 8 Jesus shows how the gospel turns our natural inclination for self-preservation upside down, calling his followers to deny and die to self in order to experience true life. We continue in Mark's gospel and hear Jesus' radical call to be willing to give up everything for his sake: dying to truly live.
