Jhon 2, 13-25

 

Jerusalem Bible: 13. When the time of the Jewish Passover was near Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14. and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there. 15. Making a whip out of cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, sheep and cattle as well, scattered the money changers' coins, knocked their tables over 16. and said to the dove sellers, 'Take all this out of here and stop using my Father's house as a market.' 17. Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am eaten up with zeal for your house. 18. The Jews intervened and said, 'What sign can you show us that you should act like this?' 19. Jesus answered, 'Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up.' 20. The Jews replied, 'It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple: are you going to raise it up again in three days?' 21. But he was speaking of the Temple that was his body, 22. and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what he had said. 23. During his stay in Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he did, 24. but Jesus knew all people and did not trust himself to them; 25. he never needed evidence about anyone; he could tell what someone had within. 

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, I am at peace because you are always in my control. Jesus fulfilled all that was written, the Bible is the word of God, and hopefully our bodies like that of Jesus are indwelling Holy Spirit and can never be destroyed because resurrected to eternal life like him. Prayer: God search in my inmost being of my body and shows what you do not like, away from me the things that make me damage.

Luke 15, 1-3. 11-32

 

Jerusalem Bible: 1. The tax collectors and sinners, however, were all crowding round to listen to him, 2. and the Pharisees and scribes complained saying, 'This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.' 3. So he told them this parable: 11. Then he said, 'There was a man who had two sons. 12. The younger one said to his father, "Father, let me have the share of the estate that will come to me." So the father divided the property between them. 13. A few days later, the younger son got together everything he had and left for a distant country where he squandered his money on a life of debauchery. 14. 'When he had spent it all, that country experienced a severe famine, and now he began to feel the pinch; 15. so he hired himself out to one of the local inhabitants who put him on his farm to feed the pigs. 16. And he would willingly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating but no one would let him have them. 17. Then he came to his senses and said, "How many of my father's hired men have all the food they want and more, and here am I dying of hunger! 18. I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; 19. I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired men." 20. So he left the place and went back to his father. 'While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him. 21. Then his son said, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son." 22. But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23. Bring the calf we have been fattening, and kill it; we will celebrate by having a feast, 24. because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found." And they began to celebrate. 25. 'Now the elder son was out in the fields, and on his way back, as he drew near the house, he could hear music and dancing. 26. Calling one of the servants he asked what it was all about. 27. The servant told him, "Your brother has come, and your father has killed the calf we had been fattening because he has got him back safe and sound." 28. He was angry then and refused to go in, and his father came out and began to urge him to come in; 29. but he retorted to his father, "All these years I have slaved for you and never once disobeyed any orders of yours, yet you never offered me so much as a kid for me to celebrate with my friends. 30. But, for this son of yours, when he comes back after swallowing up your property -- he and his loose women -- you kill the calf we had been fattening." 31. 'The father said, "My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours. 32. But it was only right we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found." '

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, give me wisdom and understanding. When we are immersed in sin we turn away from God, get up and go to the arms of our Father, always God waits with an open heart. The sin is death and delivery through Jesus, God shows his love, going to meet us, forgiving and relive. We must always be with open arms and like the father receive the brother who have fallen away with love.e  han alejado con amor.

Matthew 21, 33-43.45-46

 

Jerusalem Bible: 33. 'Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard; he fenced it round, dug a winepress in it and built a tower; then he leased it to tenants and went abroad. 34. When vintage time drew near he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his produce. 35. But the tenants seized his servants, thrashed one, killed another and stoned a third. 36. Next he sent some more servants, this time a larger number, and they dealt with them in the same way. 37. Finally he sent his son to them thinking, "They will respect my son." 38. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him and take over his inheritance." 39. So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40. Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?' 41. They answered, 'He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will deliver the produce to him at the proper time.' 42. Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this is the Lord's doing and we marvel at it? 43. 'I tell you, then, that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.' 44. 45. When they heard his parables, the chief priests and the scribes realised he was speaking about them, 46. but though they would have liked to arrest him they were afraid of the crowds, who looked on him as a prophet.

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, fil me like rain. God sent prophets Abraham, Elijah, Moses, John and mistreated and some were killed, then came Jesus and crucified him. Jesus is the cornerstone we throw two thousand years ago. It is the stone holy water springing for our redemption, seek Him, let us adore him wih love .

Luke 16, 19-31

Jerusalem Bible: 19. 'There was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen and feast magnificently every day. 20. And at his gate there used to lie a poor man called Lazarus, covered with sores, 21. who longed to fill himself with what fell from the rich man's table. Even dogs came and licked his sores. 22. Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels into Abraham's embrace. The rich man also died and was buried. 23. 'In his torment in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus in his embrace. 24. So he cried out, "Father Abraham, pity me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in these flames." 25. Abraham said, "My son, remember that during your life you had your fill of good things, just as Lazarus his fill of bad. Now he is being comforted here while you are in agony. 26. But that is not all: between us and you a great gulf has been fixed, to prevent those who want to cross from our side to yours or from your side to ours." 27. 'So he said, "Father, I beg you then to send Lazarus to my father's house, 28. since I have five brothers, to give them warning so that they do not come to this place of torment too." 29. Abraham said, "They have Moses and the prophets, let them listen to them." 30. The rich man replied, "Ah no, father Abraham, but if someone comes to them from the dead, they will repent." 31. Then Abraham said to him, "If they will not listen either to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone should rise from the dead."

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, comforter, we want to read your words help us to understand. It strikes me that the poor were born to Abraham and rich was buried, we much love spiritual things to be resurrected and taken to heaven. The material things of this world, wealth unbridled vices, unbridled sex, orgies, gluttony lead us to death , into everlasting fire, safe burial, instead feed the spiritual lead us to eternal life, eternal comfort. We must have faith and be aware, know that there are two very separate paths that will be defined by our behavior and love we profess. If we follow Jesus will be on the right roads.

Matthew 20.17-28

Jerusalem Bible: 17. Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, and on the road he took the Twelve aside by themselves and said to them, 18. 'Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man is about to be handed over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death 19. and will hand him over to the gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised up again.' 20. Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came with her sons to make a request of him, and bowed low; 21. and he said to her, 'What is it you want?' She said to him, 'Promise that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your kingdom.' 22. Jesus answered, 'You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?' They replied, 'We can.' 23. He said to them, 'Very well; you shall drink my cup, but as for seats at my right hand and my left, these are not mine to grant; they belong to those to whom they have been allotted by my Father.' 24. When the other ten heard this they were indignant with the two brothers. 25. But Jesus called them to him and said, 'You know that among the gentiles the rulers lord it over them, and great men make their authority felt. 26. Among you this is not to happen. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27. and anyone who wants to be first among you must be your slave, 28. just as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.'

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, Blessed and praise your holy name. Jesus apparatus at twelve, his community and revealed to then what has happened. As this mother, we ask for something and maybe is not the plan of God, we can drink the cup of Jesus in the Eucharist and be the first serving others.

Matthew 23, 1-12

Jerusalem Bible: 1. Then addressing the crowds and his disciples Jesus said, 2. 'The scribes and the Pharisees occupy the chair of Moses. 3. You must therefore do and observe what they tell you; but do not be guided by what they do, since they do not practise what they preach. 4. They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people's shoulders, but will they lift a finger to move them? Not they! 5. Everything they do is done to attract attention, like wearing broader headbands and longer tassels, 6. like wanting to take the place of honour at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues, 7. being greeted respectfully in the market squares and having people call them Rabbi. 8. 'You, however, must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one Master, and you are all brothers. 9. You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one Father, and he is in heaven. 10. Nor must you allow yourselves to be called teachers, for you have only one Teacher, the Christ. 11. The greatest among you must be your servant. 12. Anyone who raises himself up will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, fill us, strengthen us. We must be good observers in this world so polluted and not be seduced or deceived by the evil and choose things that are good and discard the bad. Jesus is our teacher, our manager and our Father, being the largest, the most humble himself for us descended into hell and resurrected for his great love. Prayer: Let humility rubbing our Lord Jesus Christ fill us, help us to serve with love.

Luke 6, 36-38

Jerusalem Bible: 36. 'Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate. 37. Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38. Give, and there will be gifts for you: a full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap; because the standard you use will be the standard used for you.'

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, fill us with you, Mary Star of Evangelization take me to Jesu . One way to understand this gospel is to look at others with the eyes of God, his compassion is perpetual, instead of criticizing we must pray for the brother and ask for the intercession of Mary to reach Jesus and his compassion Ask God to embrace it in all its grandeur, ask the Holy Spirit comfort. Instead of criticizing , love your brother, instead of giving a negative opinion of him, ask compassion for him and God 's blessing, for example : Lord bless my brother because he don't know what hi does, give wisdom to him my lord .
