Mark 4, 35-41



Bible Jerusalem: 35. With the coming of evening that same day, he said to them, 'Let us cross over to the other side.' 36. And leaving the crowd behind they took him, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him. 37. Then it began to blow a great gale and the waves were breaking into the boat so that it was almost swamped. 38. But he was in the stern, his head on the cushion, asleep. 39. They woke him and said to him, 'Master, do you not care? We are lost!' And he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Quiet now! Be calm!' And the wind dropped, and there followed a great calm. 40. Then he said to them, 'Why are you so frightened? Have you still no faith?' 41. They were overcome with awe and said to one another, 'Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea obey him.'

Comment: Thank you Holy Spirit , bless and praise the Lord our maker. As the song says You can have peace in the storm," Jesus gives us peace even in the most difficult moments, Sister Glenda says in his song: Why do I have fear ?, if nothing is impossible for you." Jesus invites us to the other side, he invites us to leave the comfort  zone to Become better at imitating him.

Prayer: Jesus resurrected we give you our fears, our lives, our concerns, you have power to master all things, I believe in you and adore you. You told Sara, Abraham and Mary that nothing is impossible for you, teach us to love to forgive to increase our faith and our heart really experience the peace.

Mark 4, 26-34


Bible Jerusalem: 26. He also said, 'This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the land. 27. Night and day, while he sleeps, when he is awake, the seed is sprouting and growing; how, he does not know. 28. Of its own accord the land produces first the shoot, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.29. And when the crop is ready, at once he starts to reap because the harvest has come.' 30. He also said, 'What can we say that the kingdom is like? What parable can we find for it? 31. It is like a mustard seed which, at the time of its sowing, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth. 32. Yet once it is sown it grows into the biggest shrub of them all and puts out big branches so that the birds of the air can shelter in its shade.' 33. Using many parables like these, he spoke the word to them, so far as they were capable of understanding it. 34. He would not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything to his disciples when they were by themselves. 

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, please, comfort us , free us from impure thoughts, to spend more time with you. Although we do not know with certainty how God's plans were made, we do his will and in difficult situations is tested our faith, which requires only exist, if our faith be kept in any situation would be able, in the name of Jesus, see the impossible, for one who has faith everything is possible and nothing is impossible for God . Lord I believe in you but increase my faith . Pedro had faith and walk on water and when he remove the gaze of Jesus, began to sink, always look to Jesus.

Mark 4, 21-25


Bible Jerusalem: 21. He also said to them, 'Is a lamp brought in to be put under a tub or under the bed? Surely to be put on the lamp-stand? 22. For there is nothing hidden, but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light. 23. Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!'
24. He also said to them, 'Take notice of what you are hearing. The standard you use will be used for you -- and you will receive more besides; 25. anyone who has, will be given more; anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has.'

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, come encouraging, bless you for ever. Jesus is the light of the world , we too are light of the world, we have that living water, can reflect Jesus with truth, justice, faith, bible, peace, and when we see someone or something that is bad, please look with the same merciful eyes of God.

Mark 4, 1-20



Bible Jerusalem: 1. Again he began to teach them by the lakeside, but such a huge crowd gathered round him that he got into a boat on the water and sat there. The whole crowd were at the lakeside on land. 2. He taught them many things in parables, and in the course of his teaching he said to them,
3. 'Listen! Imagine a sower going out to sow. 4. Now it happened that, as he sowed, some of the seed fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5. Some seed fell on rocky ground where it found little soil and at once sprang up, because there was no depth of earth; 6. and when the sun came up it was scorched and, not having any roots, it withered away. 7. Some seed fell into thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it produced no crop. 8. And some seeds fell into rich soil, grew tall and strong, and produced a good crop; the yield was thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold.' 9. And he said, 'Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!' 10. When he was alone, the Twelve, together with the others who formed his company, asked what the parables meant.
11. He told them, 'To you is granted the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything comes in parables, 12. so that they may look and look, but never perceive; listen and listen, but never understand; to avoid changing their ways and being healed.' 13. He said to them, 'Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables? 14. What the sower is sowing is the word. 15. Those on the edge of the path where the word is sown are people who have no sooner heard it than Satan at once comes and carries away the word that was sown in them. 16. Similarly, those who are sown on patches of rock are people who, when first they hear the word, welcome it at once with joy. 17. But they have no root deep down and do not last; should some trial come, or some persecution on account of the word, at once they fall away. 18. Then there are others who are sown in thorns. These have heard the word, 19. but the worries of the world, the lure of riches and all the other passions come in to choke the word, and so it produces nothing. 20. And there are those who have been sown in rich soil; they hear the word and accept it and yield a harvest, thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.' 

Comment: Holy Spirit praise and bless you, please still with us . Jesus is our teacher, who invites us to listen, and always put ears wait to meet him, to love him , to fulfill the commandment to love Him above all things and his word with the immense desire to be like this good land and receive the word of love and fruits in abundance.

Mark 3, 31-35


Bible Jerusalem: Now his mother and his brothers arrived and, standing outside, sent in a message asking for him. 32. A crowd was sitting round him at the time the message was passed to him, 'Look, your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.' 33. He replied, 'Who are my mother and my brothers?' 34. And looking at those sitting in a circle round him, he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers.35. Anyone who does the will of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother.'

Reflection: Come Holy Spirit. It is a privilege to do the Will of God , love that transcends beyond the family, who as Mary has done the will of God, Mary said if it unto me your will . From where we are in prayer and we know by faith may the Holy Spirit accompanies us, for the promise of Jesus, I firmly may Mary, also is present, Father Jorge Lorin said, Jesus is the intercessor Number One, Mary is the intercessor number two .

Luke 10, 1-9


Bible Jerusalem: 1. After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out ahead of him in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself would be visiting. 2. And he said to them, 'The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to do his harvesting. 3. Start off now, but look, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4. Take no purse with you, no haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road. 5. Whatever house you enter, let your first words be, "Peace to this house!" 6. And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you. 7. Stay in the same house, taking what food and drink they have to offer, for the labourer deserves his wages; do not move from house to house. 8. Whenever you go into a town where they make you welcome, eat what is put before you. 9. Cure those in it who are sick, and say, "The kingdom of God is very near to you."

Reflection: Thank you Holy Spirit for your support, Gad has mercy of me, Lord forgives me, I believe in you and I worship God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus sends us to proclaim the good news, "The kingdom of God is very near to you." So everybody can know him that he loves to give his life for us. Send us in pairs to pray and we can support one each other and sin matter what obstacles we face, persevere and relocate where we go offer peace, hope and Jesus to wear that in his holy name cure persons.

Mark 1, 14-20


Bible Jerusalem: 14. After John had been arrested, Jesus went into Galilee. There he proclaimed the gospel from God saying, 15. 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe the gospel.' 16. As he was walking along by the Lake of Galilee he saw Simon and Simon's brother Andrew casting a net in the lake -- for they were fishermen. 17. And Jesus said to them, 'Come after me and I will make you into fishers of people.' 18. And at once they left their nets and followed him. 19. Going on a little further, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John; they too were in their boat, mending the nets. 20. At once he called them and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the men he employed, they went after him.

Reflection: Come Holy Spirit, we want to read your word, help us to interpret it. The good news is that Jesus is alive and if we believe in faith in recognizing, as we will experience the resurrection, with Jesus we will be immortals, Jesus is the ticket to eternal life. Always invites us to give up everything for him, is to live a sinless life, walking to holiness, Jesus' desire to be holy like him.
