    ONLY THE TRUTH WE KNOW CAN MAKE US FREE FROM FEAR, WORRY AND DOUBT.

    "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 if 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." (Mark 9: 41... 50).

    Thursday 24th February 2022 in the 7th Week in Ordinary Time.

    One week today, we shall be in the beautiful and grace-filled Season of Lent. (Lent starts March 2, 2022). The Gospel theme today may be characterized as: scandal, sin and severe punishment. To avoid the pronounced punishment, be prepared for necessary and painful detachments from materialistic snares.

    From the beginning, the Church has recognized Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving as three disciplines ordained by the merciful Father to deal with sins. The Church teaches:

    "The interior penance of the Christian can be expressed in many and various ways. Scripture and the Fathers insist above all on three forms, fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, which express conversion in relation to oneself, to God, and to others. Alongside the radical purification brought about by Baptism or martyrdom they cite as means of obtaining forgiveness of sins: effort at reconciliation with one's neighbor, tears of repentance, concern for the salvation of one's neighbor, the intercession of the saints, and the practice of charity "which covers a multitude of sins." (CCC #1434).

    Avoid the temptation to dilute the word of God or the wisdom of the Church.

    O HOLY SPIRIT, COME INTO MY LIFE THROUGH MARY.

    "At that time, John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.” Jesus replied, “Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us."  (Mark 9: 38.... 48)

    Wednesday 23rd February 2022, in the 7th Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of an Apostolic Father, St Polycarp. (circa 69 - 155). Bishop of Smyrna in Turkey. Martyr. St Polycarp was instructed in the faith by St John the Apostle. He, Polycarp instructed St Irenaeus who became a Bishop and an early Church Father in France.

    In the Gospel from Mark 9, we read:
    "At that time, John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.”

    A propos the sovereignty and independence of the Holy Spirit, Jesus says:  "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” (John 3: 8 NIV).

    Are you trying to block the action of the Holy Spirit in your life or in the life of someone else?
    “Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us."

    What do you think of the work of evangelization going on by other Christian churches?
    Do you believe that the presence of Jesus is active outside the Catholic Church?
    Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church. Let us thank the Lord Jesus who provided the path of salvation outside the Church.

    "My Heart thirsts for the love of the saints. To those who come to Me, I will give love and holiness. And in this shall My Father be glorified.  And this shall come to pass through the intimate action of My Spirit. Where I am present in the Sacrament of My love, there also is the Spirit of the Father and of the Son. It is by the Holy Spirit that My Eucharistic presence is My glorious presence to the Father in heaven, and it is by the Holy Spirit that My Eucharistic presence touches the souls who adore Me to unite them to Me, and to bear them up even before My Father’s face."  (IN SINU JESU, Monday, October 29, 2007).

    UNTESTED FAITH LIKE AN UNTESTED SOLDIER IS UNRELIABLE.

    "As Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, and John and approached the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes ­arguing with them...... “Teacher, I have brought to you my son possessed by a mute spirit........ I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so.”

    Jesus appeared to be annoyed when He chided the disciples and the father of the epileptic boy of the lack of faith. The father of epileptic answered:

    ”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!” (Mark 9: 22 - 24).

    Monday February 21st, 2022 in the 7th Week in Ordinary Time is  the feast of St Peter Damian (1001 - 1072). Italian. Benedictine monk. Bishop and Doctor of the Church.  The monk-Cardinal whose life we celebrate today is a Reformer in like of the great reformers of the Church:  Saints Francis of Assisi, Dominic, Ignatius Loyola, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, etc. . Damian  urged his fellow clergy to live upright lives. Many clergy at all levels were at that time living sordid lives. But Peter pursued reforms with the heart of a pastor.

    In the Gospel of today from Mark 9: 14 - 29, the father of the epileptic boy was desperate to see his son healed at all cost.
    ”But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

    The Bible has a lot to teach about the necessity of Faith:
    #1 Without faith, we cannot please God.
    #2 Although man cannot live on bread alone, the just man lives by faith.
    #3 This world is in a bitter and deadly conflict between good and evil. Victory must come to the side with faith.
    Etc,

    How do we get this precious faith?
    Faith comes from hearing/reading the word of God constantly. To this, add prayer. For prayer and faith are like joined twins that can never be separated.

    Your prayer must be fired by confident and expectant faith for God Himself has promised: Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will swing open for you.

    "The Eucharist is transforming for all who receive Me with faith and with confident devotion, but it is especially so for My priests. It is by the reception of My Body and Blood that you will grow in My friendship and in the shining priestly holiness by which I want to be glorified in you and in all My priests." (IN SINU JESU, Thursday, January 3, 2008 The Holy Name of Jesus).

    OBEY PETER AND YOUR BISHOP.
    REJECT SATAN'S STRATEGY OF DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

    "When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply.... “... ... And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16: 13....19).

    Tuesday 22nd February 2022, in the 7th Week in Ordinary Time is the Feast of the Chair of St Peter the Apostle.

    What are we celebrating today?
    + The Pope as Bishop of Rome.
    + St Peter, the Chairman of the Church and his successors to the Chair of St Peter.
    + The Teaching Authority of the Popes.
    + The universal Magisterium of the Roman Church.
    + The unity of the Church founded upon the Apostle Peter and his successors.
    + Our faith based on the Confession of the Apostle Peter.

    To the question of Jesus: Who do people say I am?
    "Peter said to Jesus: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus replied: You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church." (Matthew 16: 16, 18).

    "The Lord says to Simon Peter:


    I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail, and, once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22: 32).

    Let us pray today especially for our Holy Father Pope Francis and for the unity of the Church.

    "John made reparation for Peter’s denial of Me, not by standing in judgment over Peter, whom he honoured and loved as a father, but by weeping with Peter, and by offering himself in reparation for Peter’s fall." (IN SINU JESU, Tuesday, December 27, 2011).

    WE ARE TRANSFORMED WHEN WE BECOME AWARE OF HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US.

    "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
    “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give, and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” (Luke 6: 27... 38).

    "Be merciful, as your Father is merciful, says the Lord." (Luke 6: 36).

    Sunday February 20th, 2022 in the 7th Week in Ordinary Time.

    Jesus urges us to show pity on others, to be tender, compassionate, forgiving just as Abba Father treats us.

    How is Father merciful to us?
    A few examples from the Scriptures:

    #1. Bless the Lord, my soul; and do not forget all his gifts,
    Who pardons all your sins, and heals all your ills." (Psalm 103: 2 - 3).

    #2." The Lord’s acts of mercy are not exhausted, his compassion is not spent;
    They are renewed each morning—great is your faithfulness!"
    (Lamentations 3: 22 - 23).

    #3.
    “Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, you who keep your covenant and show mercy toward those who love you and keep your commandments and your precepts!" (Daniel 9: 4).

    The Scriptures have been constant in showing us that our God is the Father of mercies and the God of all consolations. He waits for the sinner to come home as in the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

    What does this God of mercy expect from His children? He expects three things that can be summarized under the acronym of ABC of Mercy:
    #A: Ask for mercy.
    #B: Be merciful.
    #C: Completely trust Jesus for mercy.

    Jesus is the face of mercy of God the Father. Abba Father is rich in mercy.
