Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18 - Jesus said to His disciples: "Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father Who sees in secret will repay you. "When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father Who sees in secret will repay you. "When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father Who is hidden. And your Father Who sees what is hidden will repay you."

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before Him, and asked Him, ""Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"" Jesus answered him, ""Why do you call Me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother."" He replied and said to Him, ""Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth."" Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, ""You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow Me."" At that statement, his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, ""How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!"" The disciples were amazed at His words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, ""Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 10:1-12 - Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds gathered around Him and, as was His custom, He again taught them. The Pharisees approached Him and asked, ""Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?"" They were testing Him. He said to them in reply, ""What did Moses command you?"" They replied, ""Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her."" But Jesus told them, ""Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate."" In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3) Cardinals could collude to elect an anti-Trump modernist successor to Pope Francis https://stream.org/cardinals-could-collude-to-elect-an-anti-trump-successor-to-pope-francis/ 3, 4) The coming Trumpian Pope https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/the-coming-trumpian-pope

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 9:41-50 - Jesus said to His disciples: ""Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward. ""Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. ""Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid, with what will you restore its flavor? Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another.""

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 9:30-37 - Jesus and His disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but He did not wish anyone to know about it. He was teaching His disciples and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill Him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise." But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question Him. They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, He began to ask them, "What were you arguing about on the way?" But they remained silent. For they had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then He sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all." Taking a child, He placed it in their midst, and putting His Arms around it, He said to them, "Whoever receives one child such as this in My Name, receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but the One Who sent Me."

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - Mark 9:14-29 - As Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, John and approached the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them. Immediately on seeing Him, the whole crowd was utterly amazed. They ran up to Him and greeted Him. He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” Someone from the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I have brought to you my son possessed by a mute spirit. Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so.” He said to them in reply, “O faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him to Me.” They brought the boy to Him. And when he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw the boy into convulsions. As he fell to the ground, he began to roll around and foam at the mouth. Then he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” He replied, “Since childhood. It has often thrown him into fire and into water to kill him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Jesus said to him, “‘If you can!’ Everything is possible to one who has faith.” Then the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!” Jesus, on seeing a crowd rapidly gathering, rebuked the unclean spirit and said to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again!” Shouting and throwing the boy into convulsions, it came out. He became like a corpse, which caused many to say, “He is dead!” But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up. When He entered the house, His disciples asked Him in private, “Why could we not drive the spirit out?” He said to them, “This kind can only come out through prayer.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 8:34—9:1 - Jesus summoned the crowd with His disciples and said to them, "Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and that of the Gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? What could one give in exchange for his life? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels." He also said to them, "Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the Kingdom of God has come in power." 2, 3, 4) Father Robert Spitzer on his book: Fr.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 8:27-33 - Jesus and His disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to Him in reply, “You are the Christ.” Then He warned them not to tell anyone about Him. He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke him. At this He turned around and, looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3)  How to make a good examination of conscience and a good confession 4) Spiritual Warfare: The Masculine Biblical Theology of Prayer https://catholicexchange.com/spiritual-warfare-the-masculine-biblical-theology-of-prayer/
