Transformed
That's the end of this homily.
"Can you drink this cup?" Jesus asks James and John. Little did they know what kind of transformation their answer would require.
The reading
Matthew 20:20–28
The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons
and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something.
He said to her,
"What do you wish?"
She answered him,
"Command that these two sons of mine sit,
one at your right and the other at your left, in your Kingdom."
Jesus said in reply,
"You do not know what you are asking.
Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?"
They said to him, "We can."
