I am a King: The final Sunday of Year B is dedicated to Jesus' universal kingship. As we have seen throughout our reflections on the Gospel of Mark, Jesus lays no claim to be a king who exercises worldly power. On trial for his life in the Gospel of John, he tells Pontius Pilate that he has come with a royal message. God loves us without condition. Those who belong to his kingdom are drawn into that love.

My words will not pass away: We hear words from the Jesus of the Gospel of Mark for the last time in Year B. Writing to Christians who thought that the end was near, he insists that before that happens, the Gospel must be preached to the ends of the earth. But the end will come. We must be able to read the signs of the times, not knowing when it will take place, but certain that it will take place.

She has given her whole life: Following Jesus' encounter with a Scribe who accepts the centrality of the love commandment, Jesus attacks "the scribes" who pretend to be religious, but harm the poor of this world. One of the latter, a widow, shows the way of true discipleship. She gives her all, her very life.

The first of all the commandments: On arrival in Jerusalem, Jesus meets opposition. These passages are not in the Lectionary, but they lead to Jesus' encounter with a Scribe. Acting as a lawyer, he seeks the one commandment that covers all the commandments. Jesus' response comes from Israel's tradition, but it is a new commandment as the love of God and love of neighbour are combined. Finally, a Jewish leader accepts Jesus' teaching, and is not far from the Kingdom.

Not to be served, but to serve: James and John, and the other ten members of "the Twelve" continue to misunderstand Jesus. They seek only places of honour and authority. Jesus calls them to the baptism of martydom, and to lowly service. He instructs them not only in word, but by his example: the Son of Man who came to serve, and to give his life.

What must I do?: A rich man's desire to know what he must do to inherit eternal life leads Jesus to love him and focus upon the only thing that is blocking his commitment to the way of Jesus - his riches. Once more, this episode is to teach disciples that they are to follow Jesus in all things, abandoning anything that might stand between them and the man they wish to follow.

From the beginning of creation: Tested by the Pharisees on his interpretation of divorce, approved by Jewish Law under certain conditions, Jesus abandons Law, and describes how God planned the relationship between a woman and a man "from the beginning" before sin had entered the world. Jesus continues to instruct his disciples about the challenge to serve and be reception "in practice" and not just "in theory."

To be for or against Jesus: The disciples continue to misunderstand their call to follow Jesus, as they tried to stop someone who was not following them. Jesus against corrects them, insisting on the priority of doing good in the name of Jesus, and on the fundamental importance of entering the Kingdom. Better to be maimed than lose the Kingdom!

Serving and receiving: Continuing his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus announces his forthcoming death and resurrection a second time. Again the disciples do not understand, and wonder about who will be the greatest in Jesus' messianic victory. Using a little child as a model, he does not give up on them, but instructs them on the need for disciples who serve and who are receptive to God's word and design.

Who do you say that I am?: At the centre of Mark's Gospel, and after his recognition by the Gentiles, Jesus asks his disciples who they think he is. Peter's response, "You are the Christ" is only partially correct. Jesus is also the suffering, crucified, and risen Son of Man. Anyone who wishes to be his disciple must follow him to the cross, and through the cross into life.

A missionary journey into Gentile lands: Jesus sets out on a mission to Gentile lands. After healing the daughter of a Gentile woman, he journeys north and then east, always walking among Gentiles. On the Gentile side of the Lake of Galilee he heals a Gentile deaf-mute, and the Gentiles acclaim that he does all things well, and see him as the Messiah. Only on mission, among the Gentiles, is Jesus recognised and acknowledged.

Observing human traditions: After four Sundays reflecting upon John 6, the Lectionary returns to the Gospel of Mark, but maintains its focus upon "eating." The leaders of Israel try to accuse Jesus and his disciples of unfaithfulness to their religious traditions. Jesus instructs them - and us - that we must live by the commandments of God, and not closed religious traditions. What lies deep within us makes us clean or unclean.

Decisions are made: Jesus' teaching comes to an end, but many disciples find it too hard and leave him. Only the Twelve, led by Peter, confess their faith in him, but even among them there was one who would fail.

20th Sunday of Ordinary Time: After introducing the theme of eating the flesh of the Son of Man and drinking his blood, Jesus no longer tells the crowd to belief in him if they wish to have eternal life. Their belief must be shown as they accept that the broken body and the split blood of Jesus can be encountered at the Table of the Eucharist

The origins of the true bread from heaven: The crowd cannot understand how someone whose family they know can give the bread from heaven. For them, the Law was the new manna from heaven, but Jesus offers a life-giving bread because he comes from the Father, and is thus able to make the Father known from his intimacy with him. He begins, for the first time, to speak of "eating" the flesh of Jesus.

Solemnity of Saint Mary of the Cross (McKillop): To celebrate the Feast of St Mary McKillop, the Church has wisely chosen a Gospel text from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. It is perfect. It touches on the aspect of Mary’s life that led her to sanctity. In the face of many challenges, she recognised that all beauty and goodness comes from an unfailing trust in God. There can only be one place for one’s heart. Nothing should lead us away from that place.

The search for the true bread from heaven: Reunited at Capernum, the people still seek bread. But it is a bread that perishes, like the bread given in the desert during the Exodus. Jesus offers the true bread from heaven, true access to God. But he shocks them as he reveals: "I am the bread of life."

A gift of bread at Passover time: Jesus gathers his disciples on a mountain by the Sea of Galilee at Passover, and many come because they have seen Jesus' miracles. He nourishes them in a meal that is a symbol of the celebration of the Eucharist, still available in the 12 baskets of broken pieces of bread. But the crowd continues to misunderstand.
