Mark 8, 1-10

 

Jerusalem Bible: 1. And now once again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat. So he called his disciples to him and said to them, 2. 'I feel sorry for all these people; they have been with me for three days now and have nothing to eat. 3. If I send them off home hungry they will collapse on the way; some have come a great distance.' 4. His disciples replied, 'Where could anyone get these people enough bread to eat in a deserted place?' 5. He asked them, 'How many loaves have you?' And they said to him, 'Seven.' 6. Then he instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves, and after giving thanks he broke them and began handing them to his disciples to distribute; and they distributed them among the crowd. 7. They had a few small fishes as well, and over these he said a blessing and ordered them to be distributed too. 8. They ate as much as they wanted, and they collected seven basketfuls of the scraps left over. 9. Now there had been about four thousand people. He sent them away 10. and at once, getting into the boat with his disciples, went to the region of Dalmanutha.

Comment: Come Holy Spiri, strengthen me sir, your servant is listening speech . Scientists try to explain this event, but can not. What is impossible for men is possible with God, jesus always knows our needs and if we stay with him,  Gad have mercy on us . Thank you Lord for the food tht we receive each day lord, have mercy for those who have difficulty to get it , help us to share what we have with our neighbors .

Mark 7,31-37

Jerusalem Bible: 31. Returning from the territory of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon towards the Lake of Galilee, right through the Decapolis territory. 32. And they brought him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they asked him to lay his hand on him. 33. He took him aside to be by themselves, away from the crowd, put his fingers into the man's ears and touched his tongue with spittle. 34. Then looking up to heaven he sighed; and he said to him, 'Ephphatha,' that is, 'Be opened.' 35. And his ears were opened, and at once the impediment of his tongue was loosened and he spoke clearly. 36. And Jesus ordered them to tell no one about it, but the more he insisted, the more widely they proclaimed it. 37. Their admiration was unbounded, and they said, 'Everything he does is good, he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.'

Comment: " The Spirit of God is in this place, the Spirit of God moves in this place," Blessed be the Holy Spirit. Jesus was accompanied by the messianic signs, even today we witness these events through men and women who give their lives for the gospel of Jesus and tell what they have seen and heard renewed by the Holy Spirit. Our ears are open to God's love and the bonds of our language are released so that we can proclaim that Jesus is alive .

Mark 7,24-30

Jerusalem Bible:24. He left that place and set out for the territory of Tyre. There he went into a house and did not want anyone to know he was there; but he could not pass unrecognised. 25. At once a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him and came and fell at his feet. 26. Now this woman was a gentile, by birth a Syro-Phoenician, and she begged him to drive the devil out of her daughter. 27. And he said to her, 'The children should be fed first, because it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to little dogs.' 28. But she spoke up, 'Ah yes, sir,' she replied, 'but little dogs under the table eat the scraps from the children.' 29. And he said to her, 'For saying this you may go home happy; the devil has gone out of your daughter.' 30. So she went off home and found the child lying on the bed and the devil gone.

Comment: Come Holy Spirit, you are beautiful, gorgeous master. If we reflect Jesus never pass by unnoticed, people always want that living water that flows from those in his presence. That woman must imitate the wisdom that comes from God, trust and faith that rips miracles from Jesus.

Mark 7, 14-23

Jerusalem Bible:  14. He called the people to him again and said, 'Listen to me, all of you, and understand.15. Nothing that goes into someone from outside can make that person unclean; it is the things that come out of someone that make that person unclean. 16. Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!' 17. When he had gone into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable. 18. He said to them, 'Even you -- don't you understand? Can't you see that nothing that goes into someone from outside can make that person unclean, 19. because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach and passes into the sewer? 20. And he went on, 'It is what comes out of someone that makes that person unclean. 21. For it is from within, from the heart, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder, 22. adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly.

23. All these evil things come from within and make a person unclean.' 

Comment: Come Holy Spirit teach us please . We must be careful when we speak, to express our feelings with others is important not speak bad words, do not curse , do not call the enemy by name, " Devil, Lucifer or Satan " in the name of Jesus and the intercession Mary God rebuke. Let not your heart be contaminated, instead of insulting will forgive and bless, rather than relocate to discuss change for peace, to offend better highlight the good things and if  a finger crushed  cries out to Jesus, the Holy Spirit or Blessed be God. When you hear someone speaking evil, correct it with love and pray for God to deliver him from evil intentions. Prayer: Our desire is that through our brothers we listen to the voice of the Lord and our hearts just sprout rivers of living water, amen . 

Mark 7, 1-13

1. The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered round him, 2. and they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washing them.

3. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, keep the tradition of the elders and never eat without washing their arms as far as the elbow; 4. and on returning from the market place they never eat without first sprinkling themselves. There are also many other observances which have been handed down to them to keep, concerning the washing of cups and pots and bronze dishes. 5. So the Pharisees and scribes asked him, 'Why do your disciples not respect the tradition of the elders but eat their food with unclean hands?' 6. He answered, 'How rightly Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites in the passage of scripture: This people honours me only with lip-service, while their hearts are far from me. 7. Their reverence of me is worthless; the lessons they teach are nothing but human commandments. 8. You put aside the commandment of God to observe human traditions.' 9. And he said to them, 'How ingeniously you get round the commandment of God in order to preserve your own tradition! 10. For Moses said: Honour your father and your mother, and, Anyone who curses father or mother must be put to death. 11. But you say, "If a man says to his father or mother: Anything I have that I might have used to help you is Korban (that is, dedicated to God)," 12. then he is forbidden from that moment to do anything for his father or mother. 13. In this way you make God's word ineffective for the sake of your tradition which you have handed down. And you do many other things like this.' 

Comment: Come Holy Spirit to teach, I bless you Lord, glory to thee my God. The Lord has allowed me to release the tradition of my old life, my past life pride of evil has been removed by Jesus. My heart be troubled, so I handed it to Jesus so that mold and me a new one. The only commandment in the Bible that has promise is " Honor your father and your mother and you'll be fine ."

Mark 6, 53-56

Jerusalem Bible: 53. Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored there. 54. When they disembarked people at once recognised him, 55. and started hurrying all through the countryside and brought the sick on stretchers to wherever they heard he was. 56. And wherever he went, to village or town or farm, they laid down the sick in the open spaces, begging him to let them touch even the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched him were saved.

Comment: Come Spirit, descends upon me as rain, descends upon me, wash me, seal me. Blessed be God, today we hear of those miracles that Jesus risen among us and people recognize it, can be carriers of those signs. Prayer: God allows us to be with him always to be fulfilled in us the first commandment to love Him above all things, so that we may bear witness to a living God and power.

Jerusalem Bible: 29. And at once on leaving the synagogue, he went with James and John straight to the house of Simon and Andrew. 30. Now Simon's mother-in-law was in bed and feverish, and at once they told him about her. 31. He went in to her, took her by the hand and helped her up. And the fever left her and she began to serve them. 32. That evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by devils. 33. The whole town came crowding round the door, 34. and he cured many who were sick with diseases of one kind or another; he also drove out many devils, but he would not allow them to speak, because they knew who he was. 35. In the morning, long before dawn, he got up and left the house and went off to a lonely place and prayed there. 36. Simon and his companions set out in search of him, 37. and when they found him they said, 'Everybody is looking for you.' 38. He answered, 'Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns, so that I can proclaim the message there too, because that is why I came.' 39. And he went all through Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out devils.

Comment: Holy Spirit fill me, come please reveal to me your word. In writing does not mention the name of the mother of Simon, then let's get her place God has done wonders in our lives, heals, frees, fornication, the infidelity, in order to take the sins of our lives, as it would be a privilege to serve the lord. Avoid seduction of evil silent the demons, away for prayer seek Jesus and meet him.
