David Wallace reflects on how our need for belonging can lead us to experiencing being othered and how Jesus invites us to see ourselves and others [Mark 9:38-50].

Reflection

• Reflect on a time when you felt “othered” and a time when you “othered” someone else. What feelings come to the surface for each?
• Recall a moment that contributed to masking over the child-like nature of your True Self? How might you see your innocence and release its burden on you?
