This must never happen to you.\u2019 23 But he turned and said to Peter, \u2018Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.\u2019\n\n24 Then Jesus told his disciples, \u2018If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?\n\n27 \u2018For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done.\">\n                \n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >Lectio Reflection - Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time  - Matthew 16:21-27 (Year A 2026)<\/span>\n                        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <span class=\"sby-screenreader\">YouTube Video UExPN0M5eUdHZk9SOV8taWNMeUwzOHczZjF4REQzSDlGMy45MDQ2MjlBRTY2REU1QjNF<\/span>\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                    <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n            \n        <\/div>\n\n        \n<div class=\"sby_info sby_info_item\">\n\t<div class=\"sby-video-info-bottom\">\n\t\t<div class=\"sby-video-info\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_UExPN0M5eUdHZk9SOV8taWNMeUwzOHczZjF4REQzSDlGMy4zRjM0RTdEOTkwRDI5MDFG\" data-date=\"1785544374\" data-video-id=\"xzVFdxcSkrI\" data-video-title=\"Lectio Reflection - Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Matthew 14:22-33 (Year A 2026)\" data-live-date=\"0\" data-channel-id=\"UCty1gKh42HUbpi_aw4tgr_g\" >\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/lectiodivina.com.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/youtube-feed-pro\/img\/placeholder.png)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xzVFdxcSkrI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/xzVFdxcSkrI\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/xzVFdxcSkrI\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/xzVFdxcSkrI\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/xzVFdxcSkrI\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/xzVFdxcSkrI\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"xzVFdxcSkrI\"  data-user=\"Centre for Christian Spirituality\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xzVFdxcSkrI\" data-avatar=\"\" data-title=\"Welcome to a transformative journey as we delve into the profound practice of Lectio Divina, a spiritual meditation technique rooted in ancient traditions.
