Here is the Word of God for today ...

faith in Jesus ...

(Mark 6.53-56) - Jesus and his disciples, having crossed the lake, they landed and landed in Galilee. They left the boat, and immediately the people recognized Jesus, they traveled throughout the region, and began to transport patients on stretchers where we learned his presence. And in all places where he was, in villages, cities or fields, were placed on the disabled spaces. They begged him to let them touch even the fringe of what her coat. And all who touched him were saved.

-----

To our thinking ...

- Today's Gospel presents Christ in caring for people's needs. He deviates from his path without hesitation to go to those who seek help. Thus he acts with each of us. He took human nature to look after us. It is the physician of our souls. We see Him, the Son of God, to serve man. He came to serve and not to be servi.Il is because Jesus is the physician of our souls; it comes to our rescue. He came to save what was lost, free the captives and give life to the dead. Do I let myself be touched by Christ?

- Jesus, when he joined the boat, people recognized him immediately. And when they saw it was him, they hastened to make him sick. They knew who he was. They had witnessed his kindness before and they knew they would not be returned. It is exciting to see the immediate confidence and Total they do to Jesus. Seeing him, they immediately react by going to him. Is this is not an invitation for us to bring him, especially the Mass and Eucharistic adoration, the people we love and need of His saving grace? So believe in him and are introducing all our requests before Him. None of those who wanted to touch it has been returned: neither do we, we do not return!

And yet ...

Do I agree to be transformed by Jesus? ...

Do I agree to change what is wrong with my life? ...

Funeral Sympathy Quotes

Aujourd ' Today, 6 February, the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

"We are part of God's family. We are happy to gather around the Lord's table. He shares with us his Word and Bread of Life, so that our lives be illuminated his presence. We could and perform better and better the mission that Jesus entrusts to his disciples to be salt of the earth and light of the world. "

Here's good news this Sunday ...

You are the salt of the earth and light of the world ...

(Matthew 5.13-16) - As the disciples were gathered around Jesus on the mountain, he told them: "You are the salt of the earth. If the salt denatures, wherewith he salt? It is thenceforth good for nothing: it is thrown out and people trample. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill can not be hidden. And it does not light a lamp and put it under a bushel, they put it on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Also, let your light shine before men, then seeing what you doing good, they give glory to your Father in heaven. "

To help our thinking ...

readings this week have often Christ speaking to his disciples. Although more than two thousand years have passed since Jesus spoke those words, they resonate in our heart as the heart of his closest friends.

By his words, Christ has the power to change us, teach us, and inspire us to be saints and apostles convinced. It gives us the power to be those who bring the light of Christ to the world today, as his first disciples did in their time ...

The fries, steak or even a good salad had more flavor if you add a small pinch of salt. The analogy of salt in today's Gospel refers to our union with God. A real relationship with Jesus through prayer and the sacraments keeps our inner life 'salt 'So that we can be the salt of the earth ....

Speed reading the newspaper or look at the evening news reminds us of the darkness of our world today is still searching for his freedom ... As is true in some paarties the world right now! ...

Where is the light? Christ told his disciples, "You are the light of the world". Similarly, we are called to be a response to the darkness of the world today ...

- Maybe Today I will not have the opportunity to enlighten the world, but I can surely bring the light of Christ in my home, at work, at my school, supermarket and those I meet .. ..

today live so that "seeing what you're doing good, they give glory to your Father in heaven," and so we will be a light to the world around us. .. (From catholique.org)

If you are looking for , you will not be disappointed (e) ...

(Mark 6.30-34) - After their first mission, the apostles gathered around Jesus and reported all they have done and taught. He told them: "Come apart into a desert place, and relax a little. "In fact, the coming and going were so numerous that not even time to eat. So they went into the boat to a deserted place, away. People saw them leaving and many came to know. Then walk all the cities they ran, and arrived there before them. When he disembarked and saw a large crowd. He was moved with pity for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.

-----
To help our thinking ...

- The apostles refer to Jesus everything they did and taught. They are like children and it is a real father and brother to them. He is a mentor par excellence. He listens, responds, encourages and instructs them. For anything they do leave.

- Jesus Christ is a true guide to his apostles. It attracts and enlightens. It conquers the heart of each of them because he is a man possessed by an ideal transcendent and eternal which emanates from him with extraordinary vigor. With
his profound knowledge of the human person (Jn 15:13), he pulls the qualities of each apostle utmost to serve the true and good.
- What qualities do you possess that you can to serve the Lord with your brothers and sisters eet?

- The crowds discover the place where Jesus and his apostles will surrender. Imagine their excitement, their eagerness and their longing to see Jesus. These people feel with the Lord and in the community of his disciples bonds of loyalty and friendship ... a spirit of love Authentic ...
is what their looking intensely human hearts.
Those who seek Christ are never disappointed.

-----

And we should remember ...

- It is important to examine their conscience in the evening ... at the end of the day ... Where am I? ... I am here to serve ... Where I am in my service to others? ...

- Do I take time to say: Thank God for ... such person I met ... such a good deed I did ... Such forgiveness I asked ... so when I tasted your presence ... and again ...

- Do I take time to rest? ... Either I'm always at high speed? ...

- Do I make an appointment with myself in my calendar? ...

Here is the Good News of the day ...

What pride can do ...

(Mark 6.14-29) - As the name of Jesus became famous, King Herod heard of it. They said: "This is John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and that is why he has the power to do miracles. "Some said:" The prophet Elijah. Others said again: "It's like a prophet of old. "Herod heard these words and said:" Whatever I beheaded John, he's risen! "Because it was he, Herod had arrested John and put him in prison. Indeed, he had married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and John told him: "You have no right to take your brother's wife. "1 in Herodias wanted John So, and she sought to have him put to death. But she could not do it because Herod was afraid of John: he knew he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him and when he had heard, he was very embarrassed, and yet he loved hear it. However, a favorable opportunity presented itself lorsqu'Hérode for his birthday gave a banquet in his dignitaries, heads of the army and the notables of Galilee. The daughter of Herodias danced and made his entrance. She pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl: "Ask me anything you want, I will give it. And he swore "Anything you ask me, I will give you, even if it is half my kingdom. She then went to tell his mother: "What I ask? "Herodias replied:" The head of John the Baptist. At once the girl hurried back to the king, and he made this request: "I want everything now you give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist. The king was deeply upset, but because of the oath before the guests, he did not he refused. He immediately sent a guard with orders to bring John's head. The guard went and beheaded him in prison. He brought his head on a plate 1a, gave it to the girl and the girl gave it to her mother. When John's disciples heard this they came to take his body and laid him in a tomb.

To help our thinking ...

- Although Herod was a cruel tyrant, Jean-Baptiste has not hesitated to condemn his conduct and adultery to expose his sin publicly. John was moved by the Holy Spirit to give witness and teach the people that nobody can violate legitimately the commandments of God, not even a king.
- John did not fear the consequences of his actions. He knew if he was faithful, God would be on his side and he would never let him down, even if it should suffer for the truth.
- Be brave, we too, in the testimony that we give to our family, our friends and society as a whole. When we do, God will be with us and we have nothing to fear.

- Mark tells us that Herod, although he was offended when John was accused of adultery, "loved to hear." and "was very embarrassed." In his moral weakness, he persisted in his sin, yet the call to repentance of the prophet touched his conscience. Herod was in confusion. Something stirred in his conscience. the Holy Spirit spoke to his heart to take him to regret his sin.
- God never abandons the sinner, but gives grace to turn to him again. We must never lose hope for someone who seems to be lost and wandering in sin.
- continue to tell the truth with love and pray for its full conversion. God can change the heart of the most hardened sinners. He forgave us so much, and he can forgive others too ...

- The Gospel tells us that Herod, in a reckless promise to the daughter of Herodias, and was compromised by fear of losing face, he ordered the beheading of John the Baptist . Here his moral weakness dominated the first stirrings of the grace of conversion. He closed his heart to God's action because of his greed and vanity, and he committed the terrible crime of murder of an innocent man.
- In a heart left to his own passions sin darkens the conscience and stifles the grace of God ...

Let us also ...
- I am also aware of other ...
- Pride can make us do stupid things ...
