Leitura do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos 5,21-43 Naquele tempo, 21Jesus atravessou de novo, numa barca, para outra margem. Uma numerosa multidão se reuniu junto dele, e Jesus ficou na praia. 22Aproximou-se, então, um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo. Quando viu Jesus, caiu a seus pés, 23e pediu com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem e põe as mãos sobre ela, para que ela sare e viva!” 24Jesus então o acompanhou. Numerosa multidão o seguia e comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía, e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: “Quem me tocou”?” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus, e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando, quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga, e disseram: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas, ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina, e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” - que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amigocatolico/message

Leitura do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos 1,40-45 Naquele tempo, 40um leproso chegou perto de Jesus e, de joelhos, pediu: “Se queres, tens o poder de curar-me”. 41Jesus, cheio de compaixão, estendeu a mão, tocou nele e disse: “Eu quero: fica curado!”. 42No mesmo instante a lepra desapareceu e ele ficou curado. 43Então Jesus o mandou logo embora, 44falando com firmeza: “Não contes nada disso a ninguém! Vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece, pela tua purificação, o que Moisés ordenou, como prova para eles!” 45Ele foi e começou a contar e a divulgar muito o fato. Por isso Jesus não podia mais entrar publicamente numa cidade; ficava fora, em lugares desertos. E de toda parte vinham procurá-lo. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amigocatolico/message

Naquele tempo, 38Jesus dizia, no seu ensinamento, à multidão: “Tomai cuidado com os doutores da Lei! Eles gostam de andar com roupas vistosas, de ser cumprimentados nas praças públicas; 39gostam das primeiras cadeiras nas sinagogas e dos melhores lugares nos banquetes. 40Eles devoram as casas das viúvas, fingindo fazer longas orações. Por isso eles receberão a pior condenação”. 41Jesus estava sentado no Templo, diante do cofre das esmolas, e observava como a multidão depositava suas moedas no cofre. Muitos ricos depositavam grandes quantias. 42Então chegou uma pobre viúva que deu duas pequenas moedas, que não valiam quase nada. 43Jesus chamou os discípulos e disse: “Em verdade vos digo, esta pobre viúva deu mais do que todos os outros que ofereceram esmolas. 44Todos deram do que tinham de sobra, enquanto ela, na sua pobreza, ofereceu tudo aquilo que possuía para viver”.

Primeira Leitura: Tobias 12,1.5-15.20 Leitura do livro de Tobias – Naqueles dias, 1Tobit chamou Tobias, seu filho, e disse-lhe: “Filho, paguemos o salário ao homem que viajou contigo, acrescentando uma gratificação”. 5Tobias chamou, pois, o anjo e disse-lhe: “Recebe como salário a metade de tudo o que trouxeste ao voltar e vai em paz”. 6Então Rafael chamou os dois à parte e disse-lhes: “Bendizei a Deus e dai-lhe graças, diante de todos os viventes, pelos benefícios que vos concedeu. Bendizei e cantai o seu nome. Manifestai a todos os homens as obras de Deus, como é justo, e não hesiteis em expressar-lhe o vosso reconhecimento. 7Se é bom guardar o segredo do rei, é justo revelar e publicar as obras de Deus. Fazei o bem, e o mal não vos atingirá. 8É valiosa a oração com o jejum, e a esmola com a justiça. Melhor é pouco com justiça do que muito com iniquidade. Melhor é dar esmolas do que acumular tesouros. 9A esmola livra da morte e purifica de todo pecado. Os que dão esmola serão saciados de vida. 10Aqueles, porém, que cometem o pecado e a injustiça são inimigos de si mesmos. 11E agora vos manifestarei toda a verdade, sem vos ocultar coisa alguma. Já vos declarei e disse: ‘É bom guardar o segredo do rei, mas as obras de Deus devem ser reveladas com a glória devida'. 12Pois bem, quando tu e Sara fazíeis oração, eu apresentava o memorial da vossa prece diante da glória do Senhor. E fazia o mesmo quando tu, Tobit, enterravas os mortos. 13Quando não hesitaste em levantar-te da mesa, deixando a refeição e saindo para sepultar um morto, fui enviado a ti para te pôr à prova. 14Mas Deus enviou-me, também, para te curar a ti e a Sara, tua nora. 15Eu sou Rafael, um dos sete anjos que permanecem diante da glória do Senhor e têm acesso à sua presença. 20Agora, bendizei o Senhor sobre a terra e dai graças a Deus. Eis que subo para junto de quem me enviou. Escrevei tudo o que vos aconteceu”. E o anjo desapareceu. – Palavra do Senhor. Salmo Responsorial: Tb 13 Bendito seja Deus, que vive eternamente! 1. Porque vós castigais e salvais, / fazeis descer aos abismos da terra / e de lá nos trazeis novamente: / de vossa mão nada pode escapar. – R. 2. Compreendei o que fez para nós, / dai-lhe graças com todo o respeito! / Vossas obras celebrem a Deus / e exaltem o rei sempiterno! – R. 3. Eu desejo, de toda a minha alma, / alegrar-me em Deus, rei dos céus. – R. 4. Bendizei o Senhor, seus eleitos, / fazei festa e alegres louvai-o! – R. Evangelho: Marcos 12,38-44 Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia. Felizes os humildes de espírito, / porque deles é o Reino dos Céus (Mt 5,3). – R. Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos – Naquele tempo, 38Jesus dizia, no seu ensinamento, à multidão: “Tomai cuidado com os doutores da Lei! Eles gostam de andar com roupas vistosas, de ser cumprimentados nas praças públicas; 39gostam das primeiras cadeiras nas sinagogas e dos melhores lugares nos banquetes. 40Eles devoram as casas das viúvas, fingindo fazer longas orações.

Fourth Sunday in Lent The Collect: Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 1The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.” 2Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears of it, he will kill me.” And the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.' 3Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to you.” 4Samuel did what the Lordcommanded, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?” 5He said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 6When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord's anointed is now before the Lord.” 7But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 8Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” 9Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” 10Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.” 11Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.” 12He sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.” 13Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the presence of his brothers; and the spirit of the Lordcame mightily upon David from that day forward. Samuel then set out and went to Ramah. Psalm: Psalm 23 1 The Lord is my shepherd; *        I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures *        and leads me beside still waters. 3 He revives my soul *        and guides me along right pathways for his Name's sake. 4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,   I shall fear no evil; *        for you are with me;        your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; *        you have anointed my head with oil,        and my cup is running over. 6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, *        and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Epistle: Ephesians 5:8-14 8For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light— 9for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. 10Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; 13but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Gospel: John 9:1-41 1As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him. 4We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man's eyes, 7saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. 8The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.' Then I went and washed and received my sight.” 12They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.” 13They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.14Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.” 16Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And they were divided. 17So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.” 18The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20His parents answered, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;21but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” 24So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” 25He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” 26They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” 28Then they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” 30The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. 32Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. 33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out. 35Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” 37Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” 38He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him. 39Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.” 40Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?” 41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,' your sin remains.

Jesus is more powerful than any stormJesus Calms the Storm“When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Silence! Be still!' Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.” (Mark 4:39)Mark 4:35-41Jesus told us in scripture that we will face many trials in this life (John 16:33). This is a fact of life – not an “if,” but a “when.” Maybe you have not experienced trials yet or maybe you have been through more than your fair share of struggle. Whatever the case may be, God can handle it.Jesus demonstrates His power to the disciples by effortlessly calming a raging storm after suggesting He and the disciples cross the lake in a boat. Soon after setting off on their journey, a storm, described as “fierce,” comes upon them. The boat began to fill with water and, understandably so, the disciples began to panic. They looked around for Jesus, but could not find Him. Eventually, they found Him sleeping peacefully in the back of the boat. He was unfazed by the storm because He was not afraid. The disciples began yelling, “Don't you care that we are going to drown?” Jesus woke up and using only His voice, instructed the waves and wind to be still. Immediately, the storm subsided.Once the storm had ended, Jesus turned to His disciples and asked, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” In the midst of a raging storm, Jesus felt peace because He knew He was stronger than the storm. He would not let it bring down the ship. Yet, the disciples let fear consume them when they faced the storm, not believing that Jesus could save them.When trials or “storms” enter our lives, it is easy to let our fear lead us. Let this miracle be a testament to the power of Christ in our lives. By calming the dangerous storm, He showed us that He can calm any type of storm we are facing. When something scary happens, we do not have to be afraid because Jesus has proved that He is more powerful than anything we will face, including nature.Questions to think about:What storm are you facing?What stands in the way of you handing over your fear to Christ?Is there a time in your life when Jesus has calmed a storm you faced? Trust that He can do it again.

Naquele tempo, 21Jesus atravessou de novo, numa barca, para outra margem. Uma numerosa multidão se reuniu junto dele, e Jesus ficou na praia. 22Aproximou-se, então, um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo. Quando viu Jesus, caiu a seus pés, 23e pediu com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem e põe as mãos sobre ela, para que ela sare e viva!” 24Jesus então o acompanhou. Numerosa multidão o seguia e comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía, e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: ‘Quem me tocou'?” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus, e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando, quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga, e disseram a Jairo: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas, ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina, e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” — que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina.

Primeira Leitura: Hebreus 3,7-14 Leitura da carta aos Hebreus – Irmãos, 7escutai o que declara o Espírito Santo: “Hoje, se ouvirdes a sua voz, 8não endureçais os vossos corações, como aconteceu na provocação, no dia da tentação, no deserto, 9onde vossos pais me tentaram, colocando-me à prova, 10embora vissem as minhas obras, durante quarenta anos. Por isso me irritei com essa geração e afirmei: sempre se enganam no coração e desconhecem os meus caminhos. 11Assim jurei em minha ira: não entrarão no meu repouso”. 12Cuidai, irmãos, que não se ache em algum de vós um coração transviado pela incredulidade, levando-o a afastar-se do Deus vivo. 13Antes, animai-vos uns aos outros, dia após dia, enquanto ainda se disser “hoje”, para que nenhum de vós se endureça pela sedução do pecado, 14pois tornamo-nos companheiros de Cristo, contanto que mantenhamos firme, até o fim, a nossa confiança inicial. – Palavra do Senhor. Salmo Responsorial: 94(95) Oxalá ouvísseis hoje a sua voz: / Não fecheis os vossos corações. 1. Vinde, adoremos e prostremo-nos por terra, / e ajoelhemos ante o Deus que nos criou! / Porque ele é o nosso Deus, nosso pastor, † e nós somos o seu povo e seu rebanho, / as ovelhas que conduz com sua mão. – R. 2. Oxalá ouvísseis hoje a sua voz: † “Não fecheis os corações como em Meriba, / como em Massa, no deserto, aquele dia, / em que outrora vossos pais me provocaram, / apesar de terem visto as minhas obras. – R. 3. Quarenta anos desgostou-me aquela raça, † e eu disse: Eis um povo transviado, / seu coração não conheceu os meus caminhos! / E por isso lhes jurei na minha ira: / não entrarão no meu repouso prometido!” – R. Evangelho: Marcos 1,40-45 Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia. Jesus pregava a Boa-nova, o Reino anunciando, / e curava toda espécie de doenças entre o povo (Mt 4,23). – R.

Vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece, pela tua purificação, o que Moisés ordenou, como prova para eles!” 45Ele foi e começou a contar e a divulgar muito o fato.

The Gospel of John 8-14 Part Two: Believing Is Seeing By Louie Marsh, 5-1-2022   Slides -last one Believing is seeing book cover.   THE 1ST ENCOUNTER:   “1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.” (John 9:1, ESV)   What They Saw:   The Disciples saw a theological CONUNDRUM.   Theodicy is the technical term for trying to understand God and evil.   Jesus saw a HURTING soul.   What They Said:   Disciples: Who's FAULT is this?   “2And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”” (John 9:2, ESV)   Jesus – God is MOVING here!   “3Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” (John 9:3–4, ESV)   What It Means:   1) God is not PUNISHING ME for my sins.   “1There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? 3No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”” (Luke 13:1–5, ESV)   “20The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” (Ezekiel 18:20, ESV)   Why Bad Things Happen: Fallen World- Satan- My bad decisions No bodies' fault!   THE REACTION:   1) God's work always stirs up TROUBLE!   “16Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”    18The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.”   22(His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.) 23Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” 24So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”” (John 9:16–24, ESV)   2) My TESTIMONY is my best witness.   “25He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” 26They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”    28And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” 30The man answered, “Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”    34They answered him, “You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out.” (John 9:25–34, ESV)   THE 2ND ENCOUNTER:   1) I need to be TEACHABLE.   “35Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36He answered, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you.”” (John 9:35–37, ESV)   2) True spiritual knowledge results in WORSHIPPING Jesus.   “38He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.” (John 9:38, ESV)   3) Knowledge results in either FAITH or JUDGMENT.  “39Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.” 40Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?” 41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,' your guilt remains.” (John 9:39–41, ESV)  

16 “For God so loved the world,[i] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” JOHN 3:16-218 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins,[a] if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.' 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”LUKE 15:8-10IS HELL REAL?And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.JOHN 1:14TRUTH IS ALWAYS IN TENSIONAnd many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. DANIEL 12:2For in death there is no remembrance of you;    in Sheol who will give you praise?PSALM 6:517 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.PSALM 9:1720 The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.EZEIKIAL 18:20 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. JOHN 14:613 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.MATTHEW 7:13-1441 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.MATTHEW 25:41Jesus did not present this story as a parable, and in no other parable did Jesus actually name an individual (as the poor man is here named). We have every reason to believe that Jesus gave us an actual case in history, one He knew from His eternal perspective.DAVID GUZIK19 “There was a rich man who would dress in purple and fine linen, feasting lavishly every day. 20 But a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, was lying at his gate. 21 He longed to be filled with what fell from the rich man's table, but instead the dogs would come and lick his sores. 22 One day the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side.[d] The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torment in Hades, he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off, with Lazarus at his side. 24 ‘Father Abraham!' he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame!'25 “‘Son,'[e] Abraham said, ‘remember that during your life you received your good things, just as Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here, while you are in agony. 26 Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that those who want to pass over from here to you cannot; neither can those from there cross over to us.'27 “‘Father,' he said, ‘then I beg you to send him to my father's house— 28 because I have five brothers—to warn them, so that they won't also come to this place of torment.'29 “But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.'30 “‘No, father Abraham,' he said. ‘But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'31 “But he told him, ‘If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'”LUKE 16:24-31GOD TELLS THE TRUTH BECAUSE HE LOVES18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.JOHN 3:18GOD GIVES YOU THE CHIOCE BECAUSE HE LOVESThe presence of this tree – the presence of a choice for Adam – was good because for Adam to be a creature of free will, there had to be a choice, some opportunity to rebel against God. If there is never a command or never something forbidden there can then never be choice. God wants our love and obedience to Him to be the love and obedience of choice.DAVID GUZIKGOD MAKES A WAY BECAUSE HE LOVES

Naquele tempo, 21Jesus atravessou de novo, numa barca, para outra margem. Uma numerosa multidão se reuniu junto dele, e Jesus ficou na praia. 22Aproximou-se, então, um dos chefes da sinagoga, chamado Jairo. Quando viu Jesus, caiu a seus pés, 23e pediu com insistência: “Minha filhinha está nas últimas. Vem e põe as mãos sobre ela, para que ela sare e viva!” 24Jesus então o acompanhou. Numerosa multidão o seguia e comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía, e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: ‘Quem me tocou'?” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus, e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando, quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga, e disseram: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas, ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina, e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” — que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina.

THE NATURE OF RESURRECTION1 - WITHOUT DEATH, THERE IS NO NEED FOR RESURRECTION.Genesis 2:16-17 - And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”  Psalm 19:7-11 - The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb. By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.  Psalm 119:9 - How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.  John 15:3 - You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.  2 - WHAT GIVES POWER TO DEATH IS SIN.John 10:18 - No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.  1 Corinthians 15:55-57 - “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.  He is the Word of God incarnate - making this declaration:I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFETHE NEED FOR RESURRECTION1) MARTHAJohn 11:1 - 1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. John 11:3-5 - 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. John 11:17 - 17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.John 11:20-28John 11:38-44DEADNESS OF UNDERSTANDINGProverbs 3:51 Corinthians 13:12Proverbs 21:2  Matthew 10:41Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to UNDERSTANDING2) MARYJohn 11:1-5John 11:17John 11:20John 11:28-29John 11:32-34DEADNESS OF FAITHLuke 10:39Hebrews 10:38Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to FAITH3) THE DISCIPLESJohn 11:1John 11:6-16DEADNESS OF REVELATIONMark 4:35-41Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to REVELATION4) THE JEWSJohn 11:1John 11:17-19John 11:28-29John 11:31John 11:32-37John 11:38John 11:41-46DEADNESS OF BELIEFJohn 1:12-13Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to BELIEF5) LAZARUSJohn 11:1John 11:3-4John 11:11 - 11John 11:17 - 17John 11:38-39John 11:43-44DEADNESS OF LIFERomans 11:29Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to LIFEHebrews 9:27John 11:25-26Hebrews 3:15

35Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, Do you believe in the Son of Man?[a] 36He answered, And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?37Jesus said to him, You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you. 38He said, Lord, I believe, and he worshiped him. 39Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.40Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, Are we also blind? 41Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no guilt;[b] but now that you say, We see, your guilt remains.

Primeira Leitura: 1 Samuel 4,1-11 Leitura do primeiro livro de Samuel – 1Naqueles dias, os filisteus reuniram-se para fazer guerra a Israel. Israel saiu ao encontro dos filisteus, acampando perto de Eben-Ezer, enquanto os filisteus, de sua parte, avançaram até Afec 2e puseram-se em linha de combate diante de Israel. Travada a batalha, Israel foi derrotado pelos filisteus. E morreram naquele combate, em campo aberto, cerca de quatro mil homens. 3O povo voltou ao acampamento e os anciãos de Israel disseram: “Por que fez o Senhor que hoje fôssemos vencidos pelos filisteus? Vamos a Silo buscar a arca da Aliança do Senhor, para que ela esteja no meio de nós e nos salve das mãos dos nossos inimigos”. 4Então o povo mandou trazer de Silo a arca da Aliança do Senhor todo-poderoso, que se senta sobre querubins. Os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Fineias, acompanhavam a arca. 5Quando a arca da Aliança do Senhor chegou ao acampamento, todo Israel rompeu num grande clamor, que ressoou por toda a terra. 6Os filisteus, ouvindo isso, diziam: “Que gritaria é essa tão grande no campo dos hebreus?” E souberam que a arca do Senhor tinha chegado ao acampamento. 7Os filisteus tiveram medo e disseram: “Deus chegou ao acampamento!” E lamentavam-se: 8“Ai de nós! Porque os hebreus não estavam com essa alegria nem ontem nem anteontem. Ai de nós! Quem nos salvará da mão desses deuses tão poderosos? Foram eles que afligiram o Egito com toda espécie de pragas no deserto. 9Mas coragem, filisteus, portai-vos como homens, para que não vos torneis escravos dos hebreus como eles o foram de vós! Sede homens e combatei!” 10Então, os filisteus lançaram-se à luta, Israel foi derrotado e cada um fugiu para a sua tenda. O massacre foi grande: do lado de Israel tombaram trinta mil homens. 11A arca de Deus foi capturada e morreram os dois filhos de Eli, Hofni e Fineias. – Palavra do Senhor. Salmo Responsorial: 43(44) Libertai-nos, Senhor, pela vossa compaixão! 1. Porém, agora nos deixastes e humilhastes, / já não saís com nossas tropas para a guerra! / Vós nos fizestes recuar ante o inimigo, / os adversários nos pilharam à vontade. – R. 2. De nós fizestes o escárnio dos vizinhos, / zombaria e gozação dos que nos cercam; / para os pagãos somos motivo de anedotas, / zombam de nós a sacudir sua cabeça. – R. 3. Levantai-vos, ó Senhor, por que dormis? / Despertai! Não nos deixeis eternamente! / Por que nos escondeis a vossa face / e esqueceis nossa opressão, nossa miséria? – R.

Vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece, pela tua purificação, o que Moisés ordenou, como prova para eles!” 45Ele foi e começou a contar e a divulgar muito o fato.

The Power of God in the thunderstormThe psalm speaks of the LORD 18 times and the "voice of the LORD" 7 times. The Canaanites believed that Baal controlled the storm and the lightning. But the things that psalms attributes to Baal, the Bible attributes to YHWH. The showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal is about who controls these the storm, the lightning, and the weath. 29:1-2 A Call to Praise God29:3-9 The glory of God in the thunderstorm29:10-11 The LORD as King foreverJesus fulfills Psalm 29The "voice of the LORD"  could be tied with Jesus as the Word- John 1:1The heavenly being- ESV- praising God in vs. 1-2 finds fulfillment in Luke 2:10-11.Jesus demonstrates His control of the storm in Mark 4:35-41Jesus walks on the water in Mark 6:45-52 and shows His control over the elements.Jesus can turn water into wine- John 2:1-11. 

Gospel of Luke, Chapter 11, verses 37-41Jesus finishes speaking to the crowd and has dinner at the home of a Pharisee. But he quickly comes under fire for not keeping the precepts of the Law. Some hospitality, right? Jesus then reprimands the Pharisees - and speaks to us over the ages - about the need for the inside and the outside to match. At stake? Freedom.

We All Had Leprosy, But He Heals All Who Come And Ask Mark 1:40 - 42 40A man with leprosy h came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” 41Jesus was indignant. i He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

Uma numerosa multidão o seguia e o comprimia. 25Ora, achava-se ali uma mulher que, há doze anos, estava com uma hemorragia; 26tinha sofrido nas mãos de muitos médicos, gastou tudo o que possuía, e, em vez de melhorar, piorava cada vez mais. 27Tendo ouvido falar de Jesus, aproximou-se dele por detrás, no meio da multidão, e tocou na sua roupa. 28Ela pensava: “Se eu ao menos tocar na roupa dele, ficarei curada”. 29A hemorragia parou imediatamente, e a mulher sentiu dentro de si que estava curada da doença. 30Jesus logo percebeu que uma força tinha saído dele. E, voltando-se no meio da multidão, perguntou: “Quem tocou na minha roupa?” 31Os discípulos disseram: “Estás vendo a multidão que te comprime e ainda perguntas: ‘Quem me tocou?'” 32Ele, porém, olhava ao redor para ver quem havia feito aquilo. 33A mulher, cheia de medo e tremendo, percebendo o que lhe havia acontecido, veio e caiu aos pés de Jesus, e contou-lhe toda a verdade. 34Ele lhe disse: “Filha, a tua fé te curou. Vai em paz e fica curada dessa doença”. 35Ele estava ainda falando, quando chegaram alguns da casa do chefe da sinagoga, e disseram a Jairo: “Tua filha morreu. Por que ainda incomodar o mestre?” 36Jesus ouviu a notícia e disse ao chefe da sinagoga: “Não tenhas medo. Basta ter fé!” 37E não deixou que ninguém o acompanhasse, a não ser Pedro, Tiago e seu irmão João. 38Quando chegaram à casa do chefe da sinagoga, Jesus viu a confusão e como estavam chorando e gritando. 39Então, ele entrou e disse: “Por que essa confusão e esse choro? A criança não morreu, mas está dormindo”. 40Começaram então a caçoar dele. Mas, ele mandou que todos saíssem, menos o pai e a mãe da menina, e os três discípulos que o acompanhavam. Depois entraram no quarto onde estava a criança. 41Jesus pegou na mão da menina e disse: “Talitá cum” – que quer dizer: “Menina, levanta-te!” 42Ela levantou-se imediatamente e começou a andar, pois tinha doze anos. E todos ficaram admirados. 43Ele recomendou com insistência que ninguém ficasse sabendo daquilo. E mandou dar de comer à menina. — Palavra da Salvação.

Primeira Leitura (Sb 1,13-15;2,23-24) Leitura do Livro da Sabedoria: 13Deus não fez a morte, nem tem prazer com a destruição dos vivos. 14Ele criou todas as coisas para existirem, e as criaturas do mundo são saudáveis: nelas não há nenhum veneno de morte, nem é a morte que reina sobre a terra: 15pois a justiça é imortal. 2,23Deus criou o homem para a imortalidade e o fez à imagem de sua própria natureza; 24foi por inveja do diabo que a morte entrou no mundo, e experimentam-na os que a ele pertencem. - Palavra do Senhor. - Graças a Deus.

Primeira Leitura: Tobias 12,1.5-15.20 Leitura do livro de Tobias – Naqueles dias, 1Tobit chamou Tobias, seu filho, e disse-lhe: “Filho, paguemos o salário ao homem que viajou contigo, acrescentando uma gratificação”. 5Tobias chamou, pois, o anjo e disse-lhe: “Recebe como salário a metade de tudo o que trouxeste ao voltar e vai em paz”. 6Então Rafael chamou os dois à parte e disse-lhes: “Bendizei a Deus e dai-lhe graças, diante de todos os viventes, pelos benefícios que vos concedeu. Bendizei e cantai o seu nome. Manifestai a todos os homens as obras de Deus, como é justo, e não hesiteis em expressar-lhe o vosso reconhecimento. 7Se é bom guardar o segredo do rei, é justo revelar e publicar as obras de Deus. Fazei o bem, e o mal não vos atingirá. 8É valiosa a oração com o jejum, e a esmola com a justiça. Melhor é pouco com justiça do que muito com iniquidade. Melhor é dar esmolas do que acumular tesouros. 9A esmola livra da morte e purifica de todo pecado. Os que dão esmola serão saciados de vida. 10Aqueles, porém, que cometem o pecado e a injustiça são inimigos de si mesmos. 11E agora vos manifestarei toda a verdade, sem vos ocultar coisa alguma. Já vos declarei e disse: ‘É bom guardar o segredo do rei, mas as obras de Deus devem ser reveladas com a glória devida'. 12Pois bem, quando tu e Sara fazíeis oração, eu apresentava o memorial da vossa prece diante da glória do Senhor. E fazia o mesmo quando tu, Tobit, enterravas os mortos. 13Quando não hesitaste em levantar-te da mesa, deixando a refeição e saindo para sepultar um morto, fui enviado a ti para te pôr à prova. 14Mas Deus enviou-me, também, para te curar a ti e a Sara, tua nora. 15Eu sou Rafael, um dos sete anjos que permanecem diante da glória do Senhor e têm acesso à sua presença. 20Agora, bendizei o Senhor sobre a terra e dai graças a Deus. Eis que subo para junto de quem me enviou. Escrevei tudo o que vos aconteceu”. E o anjo desapareceu. – Palavra do Senhor. Salmo Responsorial: Tb 13 Bendito seja Deus, que vive eternamente! 1. Porque vós castigais e salvais, / fazeis descer aos abismos da terra / e de lá nos trazeis novamente: / de vossa mão nada pode escapar. – R. 2. Compreendei o que fez para nós, / dai-lhe graças com todo o respeito! / Vossas obras celebrem a Deus / e exaltem o rei sempiterno! – R. 3. Eu desejo, de toda a minha alma, / alegrar-me em Deus, rei dos céus. – R. 4. Bendizei o Senhor, seus eleitos, / fazei festa e alegres louvai-o! – R. Evangelho: Marcos 12,38-44 Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia. Felizes os humildes de espírito, / porque deles é o Reino dos céus (Mt 5,3). – R. Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo segundo Marcos – Naquele tempo, 38Jesus dizia, no seu ensinamento, à multidão: “Tomai cuidado com os doutores da Lei! Eles gostam de andar com roupas vistosas, de ser cumprimentados nas praças públicas; 39gostam das primeiras cadeiras nas sinagogas e dos melhores lugares nos banquetes. 40Eles devoram as casas das viúvas, fingindo fazer longas orações. Por isso eles receberão a pior condenação”. 41Jesus estava sentado no templo, diante do cofre das esmolas, e observava como a multidão depositava suas moedas no cofre. Muitos ricos depositavam grandes quantias. 42Então chegou uma pobre viúva que deu duas pequenas moedas, que não valiam quase nada. 43Jesus chamou os discípulos e disse: “Em verdade vos digo, esta pobre viúva deu mais do que todos os outros que ofereceram esmolas. 44Todos deram do que tinham de sobra, enquanto ela, na sua pobreza, ofereceu tudo aquilo que possuía para viver”. – Palavra da salvação.

In this refreshing episode, Jenn Schultz joins the podcast to discuss waiting & watering. Although seasons of planting and harvesting can be exciting, so much of life is just about showing up in the in-betweens. "It's time to get excited about this stage, to appreciate the process God has us in, and to put on lenses of faith to see the transformation that is happening within us as we water.” Don't underestimate God's hand in seasons of watering, there's miracles in the mundane! About the Speaker: Jenn is a recovering perfectionist and a writer at Whatyoumakeitblog.com, encouraging women to live loved and wholehearted, right where you are.

There's something growing, even if you can't see it. Why? Because God is behind the growing.It's time to get excited about this stage, to appreciate the process God has us in, and to put on lenses of faith to see the transformation that is happening within us as we water.The Bible talks so much about water!Baptism - Romans 6:3-4 - we were baptized into Jesus's death and raised with him!Streams in the desert - Isaiah 35:3-7 - God comes to save us and water comes and refreshes a land that was once parched and dry and hopeless - MoanaThe Word rains on the earth - Isaiah 55:10-11 - the Word always achieve God's purposeLiving water - John 4:13-14 - you never thirst with it - it becomes a spring welling up to eternal lifeQuiet waters - Psalm 23:2-3 - he restores my soulParting of the Red Sea - Exodus 14:29-31Jesus walks on water - Matthew 14:25-27Jesus calms the waves - Mark 4:39-41Jesus turns water into wine - John 2:7-10THERE IS TRANSFORMATION IN WATER.Don't disparage the time of watering!

Bulletin"And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying "Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace.'" - Luke 19:41Jesus came to Jerusalem, not on a horse but on a donkey; not to win a war but to win hearts, "knowing that the wars will not cease until all the hearts are won," as Pastor Ross put it.

6º Domingo do Tempo Comum Mc 1,40-45 Naquele tempo, 40um leproso chegou perto de Jesus e, de joelhos, pediu: “Se queres, tens o poder de curar-me”. 41Jesus, cheio de compaixão, estendeu a mão, tocou nele e disse: “Eu quero: fica curado!”. 42No mesmo instante a lepra desapareceu e ele ficou curado. 43Então Jesus o mandou logo embora, 44falando com firmeza: “Não contes nada disso a ninguém! Vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece, pela tua purificação, o que Moisés ordenou, como prova para eles!” 45Ele foi e começou a contar e a divulgar muito o fato.

Primeira Leitura (Lv 13,1-2.44-46) Leitura do Livro do Levítico: 1O Senhor falou a Moisés e Aarão, dizendo: 2“Quando alguém tiver na pele do seu corpo alguma inflamação, erupção ou mancha branca, com aparência do mal da lepra, será levado ao sacerdote Aarão ou a um dos seus filhos sacerdotes. 44Se o homem estiver leproso é impuro, e como tal o sacerdote o deve declarar. 45O homem atingido por este mal andará com as vestes rasgadas, os cabelos em desordem e a barba coberta, gritando: ‘Impuro! Impuro!' 46Durante todo o tempo em que estiver leproso será impuro; e, sendo impuro, deve ficar isolado e morar fora do acampamento”. - Palavra do Senhor. - Graças a Deus. Salmo Responsorial (Sl 31) — Sois, Senhor, para mim, alegria e refúgio. — Sois, Senhor, para mim, alegria e refúgio. — Feliz o homem que foi perdoado/ e cuja falta já foi encoberta!/ Feliz o homem a quem o Senhor não olha mais como sendo culpado,/ e em cuja alma não há falsidade! — Eu confessei, afinal, meu pecado,/ e minha falta vos fiz conhecer./ Disse: “Eu irei confessar meu pecado!”/ E perdoastes, Senhor, minha falta. — Regozijai-vos, ó justos, em Deus,/ e no Senhor exultai de alegria!/ Corações retos, cantai jubilosos! Segunda Leitura (1Cor 10,31–11,1) Leitura da Primeira Carta de São Paulo aos Coríntios: Irmãos: 10,31Quer comais, quer bebais, quer façais qualquer outra coisa, fazei tudo para a glória de Deus. 32Não escandalizeis ninguém, nem judeus, nem gregos, nem a Igreja de Deus. 33Fazei como eu, que procuro agradar a todos, em tudo, não buscando o que é vantajoso para mim mesmo, mas o que é vantajoso para todos, a fim de que sejam salvos. 11,1Sede meus imitadores, como também eu o sou de Cristo. - Palavra do Senhor. - Graças a Deus.

Por isso eles receberão a pior condenação”. 41Jesus estava sentado no Templo, diante do cofre das esmolas, e observava como a multidão depositava suas moedas no cofre. Muitos ricos depositavam grandes quantias. 42Então chegou uma pobre viúva que deu duas pequenas moedas, que não valiam quase nada. 43Jesus chamou os discípulos e disse: “Em verdade vos digo, esta pobre viúva deu mais do que todos os outros que ofereceram esmolas. 44Todos deram do que tinham de sobra, enquanto ela, na sua pobreza, ofereceu tudo aquilo que possuía para viver”. — Palavra da Salvação. — Glória a vós, Senhor.

In today’s gospel reading, we are invited into a story, a story that simply did not just take place a long time ago, but a story that is truly our story, here and now.  Because of the nature of this gospel passage, I am going to do something different.  Before we hear the reading, I would like to share just a few insights with you.  The community to which the Gospel of John is addressed may very well have been expelled from the synagogue for confessing Jesus as Messiah.  They may well have felt isolated and abandoned.  So, as you experience hearing today’s reading about the isolated blind man, ask yourself how this passage might address the isolated and the abandoned, not only within John’s community, but also the isolated and abandoned among us today.  How does this story address us as we face a whole new form of living in isolation? Not only does this reading address the nature of this early Christian community, it also works to undermine a simplistic understanding of sin.  When the disciples voice a common view of the day that disability or hardship is the result of sin, a view some people today even continue to suggest, Jesus sharply disagrees.  Also, when the Pharisees assume that knowledge of the law automatically grants righteousness, Jesus counters their thinking by saying that precisely because they feel so certain regarding their understanding, because they deny their sin and claim to “see,” they are in fact sinning because they do not recognize and trust God’s very saving presence to them in the person of Jesus. So, are they really the blind ones? With these insights in mind, I invite you to listen or follow along and enter into this story.  John 9:1-41 As Jesus walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. 4We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes, 7saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. 8The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.” 12They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.” 13They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.” 16Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And they were divided. 17So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.” 18The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20His parents answered, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” 24So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” 25He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” 26They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” 28Then they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” 30The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. 32Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. 33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out. 35Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” 37Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” 38He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him. 39Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind.” 40Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?” 41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.   Friends, to follow Jesus is to see differently.  Sometimes, to follow Jesus is to be brought into a messy situation, maybe even a crisis.  But, in the mess, we are called to trust that God is present and at work doing a new thing.  Sometimes, this newness means discovering that we are actually the blind ones when we think we see perfectly.  My friend, Pastor Bill Uetricht, quoted theologian John Petty on Thursday and then added some thoughts of his own. He wrote: “John Petty speaks of Lutheran irony, the notion that ‘it is precisely when we are most spiritually confident that we are in greatest spiritual danger, that it is precisely when we feel strong in faith, precisely when we are feeling the most committed, precisely when we are the most religious, that sin lies closest at hand.’”  My friend Bill then said, “I suspect that in the craziness of these current times, this wisdom is worth clinging to. Who knows for sure what it is all about? The call in the midst of it is not certainty, but trust. That isn't coming easy for me these days.” I agree with my dear friend, Bill.  That trust is not coming easy for me these days.  Yet, I do continue to trust God’s word to us.  That blind man was made new.  Theologian, Nadia Bolz Weber, writes, “New is often messy.  New looks like recovering alcoholics.  New looks like reconciliation between family members who don’t actually deserve it.  New looks like every time I manage to admit I was wrong and every time I manage to not mention when I’m right.  New looks like a very fresh start and every act of forgiveness.  New is the thing we never saw coming – never even hoped for – like our blind guy here.  But new ends up being what I needed all along.”  And, I would add, new is discovering the new ministries and new ways we are able to be together as people of Faith in the midst of the craziness of our present existence. Such newness is also what we call grace, it is what we call love.  Nadia Bolz-Weber continues by saying, “God simply keeps reaching down…reaching down into the dirt of your humanity and resurrecting you from the graves you dig for yourself through your violence, your lies, your selfishness, your arrogance, and your addictions.  And God keeps loving you back to life over and over….There are times when faith feels like a friendship with God.  But there are other times when it feels….I don’t know….more vacant.  Yet none of that matters in the end.  How you feel about Jesus or how close you feel to God is meaningless next to how God acts upon you.  How God indeed enters into your messy life and loves you through it, maybe whether you want God’s help or not.” In today’s story, one of the most remarkable things is the fact that the blind man didn’t seek out Jesus or ask his help.  Yet, he was healed and made whole.  And the powerful, life-giving truth of the gospel is that our suffering, our grief, the challenges we are currently facing, and even our sin will not have the last word. As our souls and bodies desperately cry out for relief, we hear the faint yet clear voice of the Christ calling us; reminding us that, through the cross, death and all its trappings have been swallowed up in victory. The final word rests not with suffering, not with blindness, not with this coronavirus and everything that we are currently facing and experiencing, but with the newness, life and peace that come through Christ. These days, we hear people reminding us to wash our hands over and over and over again, and it is a necessary reminder.  But, this story reminds us that the most sublime words imaginable are, “Go, wash.” And, I don’t mean just go wash your hands yet again.  I mean wash in the waters of your baptism and the water of life in which God daily bathes each one of us, whatever our circumstances.  We may not always sense this, but we trust God’s promise to us.  And, as the cool and refreshing waters of life wash over all of us – those baptismal waters in which we daily live – our eyes and our hearts are opened to behold the living Christ, standing as the chains of death and hell lay broken at his feet.  There is no other response than to simply trust, raise our voices and cry out at last, “Lord! I believe!”  

Naquele tempo, 40um leproso chegou perto de Jesus, e de joelhos pediu: “Se queres, tens o poder de curar-me”. 41Jesus, cheio de compaixão, estendeu a mão, tocou nele, e disse: “Eu quero: fica curado!” 42No mesmo instante, a lepra desapareceu, e ele ficou curado. 43Então Jesus o mandou logo embora, 44falando com firmeza: “Não contes nada disso a ninguém! Vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece, pela tua purificação, o que Moisés ordenou, como prova para eles!” 45Ele foi e começou a contar e a divulgar muito o fato. Por isso Jesus não podia mais entrar publicamente numa cidade: ficava fora, em lugares desertos. E de toda parte vinham procurá-lo.

De kom till Kafarnaum, och när det blev sabbat gick han till synagogan och undervisade. 22Alla överväldigades av hans undervisning, för han undervisade med makt och inte som de skriftlärda. 23I synagogan fanns en man som var besatt av en oren ande, och han började skrika: 24”Vad har du med oss att göra, Jesus från Nasaret? Har du kommit för att ta död på oss? Jag vet vem du är, Guds helige.” 25Men Jesus sade strängt åt honom: ”Tig! Far ut ur honom!” 26Den orena anden ryckte och slet i mannen och gav till ett högt rop och for ut ur honom. 27Alla greps av bävan och började fråga varandra: ”Vad är detta? En ny undervisning, med makt bakom orden! Till och med de orena andarna befaller han, och de lyder honom.” 28Ryktet om honom spred sig genast över hela Galileen.Simons svärmor och andra sjuka botas29Från synagogan gick de hem till Simon och Andreas tillsammans med Jakob och Johannes. 30Simons svärmor låg i feber, och det sade de genast till Jesus. 31Han gick fram till henne, tog hennes hand och reste henne upp. Och febern lämnade henne, och hon passade upp dem. 32På kvällen, efter solnedgången, kom man till honom med alla sjuka och besatta. 33Hela staden hade samlats utanför dörren. 34Och han botade många som led av olika sjukdomar och drev ut många demoner, och han förbjöd demonerna att tala, eftersom de visste vem han var.På en enslig plats35Tidigt nästa morgon, medan det ännu var mörkt, gav han sig av därifrån och gick bort till en enslig plats, och där bad han. 36Simon och de andra skyndade efter honom, 37och när de hade funnit honom sade de: ”Alla söker efter dig.” 38Han svarade: ”Låt oss gå åt ett annat håll, till byarna här omkring, så att jag kan predika där också. Det är därför jag har gått ut.” 39Och han gick och predikade i synagogorna i hela Galileen och drev ut demonerna.En spetälsk blir ren40En spetälsk kom till honom och föll på knä och bad: ”Vill du, så kan du göra mig ren.” 41Jesus greps av vrede, sträckte ut handen och tog på honom och sade: ”Jag vill. Bli ren!” 42Och genast försvann spetälskan, och han blev ren. 43Jesus skickade bort honom med en sträng förmaning: 44”Säg ingenting till någon, men gå och visa upp dig för prästen och ge det offer för din rening som Mose har bestämt. Det blir ett vittnesbörd för dem.” 45Men mannen gick därifrån och började tala vitt och brett om saken, så att Jesus inte längre kunde visa sig i någon stad utan stannade ute i ödemarken. Och det kom folk till honom från alla håll.Mark 1:21-45 (Bibel 2000)Marie Ek Lipanovskahttp://www.marieeklipanovska.seMusic: https://www.bensound.com/

The sight caused the Israelites to be afraid, so Moses wore a veil to mask the radiance of God’s glory, taking it off when he spoke directly with God.29Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. 30When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. 31But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. 32Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. 33When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; 34but whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.Psalm: Psalm 99Proclaim the greatness of the Lord; worship upon God’s holy hill. (Ps. 99:9)1The Lord is king; let the | people tremble.The Lord is enthroned upon the cherubim; let | the earth shake.2The Lord, | great in Zion,is high a- | bove all peoples.3Let them confess God’s name, which is | great and awesome;God is the | Holy One.4O mighty king, lover of justice, you have es- | tablished equity;you have executed justice and righteous- | ness in Jacob. R5Proclaim the greatness of the Lord and fall down be- | fore God’s footstool;God is the | Holy One.6Moses and Aaron among your priests, and Samuel among those who call upon your | name, O Lord,they called upon you, and you | answered them,7you spoke to them out of the pil- | lar of cloud;they kept your testimonies and the decree | that you gave them.8O Lord our God, you answered | them indeed;you were a God who forgave them, yet punished them for their | evil deeds.9Proclaim the greatness of the Lord and worship upon God’s | holy hill;for the Lord our God is the | Holy One. RSecond Reading: 2 Corinthians 3:12--4:2In his debates with the Corinthians, Paul contrasts the glory of Moses with the glory of Christ. The Israelites could not see Moses’ face because of the veil. But in Christ we see the unveiled glory of God and are transformed into Christ’s likeness.12Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness, 13not like Moses, who put a veil over his face to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that was being set aside. 14But their minds were hardened. Indeed, to this very day, when they hear the reading of the old covenant, that same veil is still there, since only in Christ is it set aside. 15Indeed, to this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their minds; 16but when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.4:1Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2We have renounced the shameful things that one hides; we refuse to practice cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of everyone in the sight of God.Gospel: Luke 9:28-36 [37-43a]The conversation about Jesus’ suffering and death is enclosed in a dazzling foreshadowing of the resurrection. God affirms Jesus’ identity, the disciples are stunned speechless, and Jesus resumes his mission with a demonstration of his power over evil.28Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. 29And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. 31They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. 34While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. 35Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” 36When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen. [37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 38Just then a man from the crowd shouted, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son; he is my only child. 39Suddenly a spirit seizes him, and all at once he shrieks. It convulses him until he foams at the mouth; it mauls him and will scarcely leave him. 40I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.” 41Jesus answered, “You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42While he was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43aAnd all were astounded at the greatness of God.]

John 9:1-41Jesus heals a man born blind1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’3 ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’6 After saying this, he spat on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 ‘Go,’ he told him, ‘wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (this word means ‘Sent’). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.8 His neighbours and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, ‘Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?’ 9 Some claimed that he was.Others said, ‘No, he only looks like him.’But he himself insisted, ‘I am the man.’10 ‘How then were your eyes opened?’ they asked.11 He replied, ‘The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.’12 ‘Where is this man?’ they asked him.‘I don’t know,’ he said.The Pharisees investigate the healing13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath. 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. ‘He put mud on my eyes,’ the man replied, ‘and I washed, and now I see.’16 Some of the Pharisees said, ‘This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.’But others asked, ‘How can a sinner perform such signs?’ So they were divided.17 Then they turned again to the blind man, ‘What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.’The man replied, ‘He is a prophet.’18 They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 ‘Is this your son?’ they asked. ‘Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?’20 ‘We know he is our son,’ the parents answered, ‘and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.’ 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23 That was why his parents said, ‘He is of age; ask him.’24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. ‘Give glory to God by telling the truth,’ they said. ‘We know this man is a sinner.’25 He replied, ‘Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!’26 Then they asked him, ‘What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?’27 He answered, ‘I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?’28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, ‘You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.’30 The man answered, ‘Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.’34 To this they replied, ‘You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!’ And they threw him out.Spiritual blindness35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’36 ‘Who is he, sir?’ the man asked. ‘Tell me so that I may believe in him.’37 Jesus said, ‘You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.’38 Then the man said, ‘Lord, I believe,’ and he worshipped him.39 Jesus said, ‘For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.’40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, ‘What? Are we blind too?’41 Jesus said, ‘If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

Evangelho (Mc 12,38-44) — O Senhor esteja convosco. — Ele está no meio de nós. — Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo + segundo Marcos. — Glória a vós, Senhor. Naquele tempo, 38Jesus dizia, no seu ensinamento, à multidão: “Tomai cuidado com os doutores da Lei! Eles gostam de andar com roupas vistosas, de ser cumprimentados nas praças públicas; 39gostam das primeiras cadeiras nas sinagogas e dos melhores lugares nos banquetes. 40Eles devoram as casas das viúvas, fingindo fazer longas orações. Por isso eles receberão a pior condenação”. 41Jesus estava sentado no Templo, diante do cofre das esmolas, e observava como a multidão depositava suas moedas no cofre. Muitos ricos depositavam grandes quantias. 42Então chegou uma pobre viúva que deu duas pequenas moedas, que não valiam quase nada. 43Jesus chamou os discípulos e disse: “Em verdade vos digo, esta pobre viúva deu mais do que todos os outros que ofereceram esmolas. 44Todos deram do que tinham de sobra, enquanto ela, na sua pobreza, ofereceu tudo aquilo que possuía para viver”. — Palavra da Salvação. — Glória a vós, Senhor.

John 9:1-41Jesus miraculously heals a man who’s been blind since birth. But it’s what the man sees after his sight is restored that makes all the difference!
