Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised men to try to bring them back. The Prophets of the Old Testament, the Apostles of the New Testament, and ultimately Jesus—all performed this role. These men are the Tough Guys of the Bible. Where did they get their courage? What are their secrets? What can we learn from them to become tougher? That's our focus—this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On the Cross, the Lord charged the Apostle John to care for His holy Mother. The Apostle settled her in a house in Jerusalem, where she lived for the rest of her days on earth, praying and offering counsel and encouragement to the Apostles. In her old age, the Archangel Gabriel appeared to her and told her that in three days' time she would enter into her rest. Giving thanks to God, she hastened to the Mount of Olives where she prayed continually, preparing herself to meet the Lord. Meanwhile, the Apostles, scattered in various parts of the earth, were caught up in clouds and miraculously brought by the holy Angels to Jerusalem, so that they might all be with the Theotokos at her repose. After she had blessed them, she gave up her soul to God. The Apostles buried her with all honor, solemnity and joy at Gethsemane. The Apostle Thomas, who was delayed (again!) by God's providence, arrived on the third day and went to her tomb, intending to honor her. But when the Apostles opened her grave, they found her holy body gone and only the winding-sheet remaining. That evening the Theotokos appeared to them surrounded by angels, and said to them, 'Rejoice: I will be with you always!'. Thus they learned that she had been bodily translated to heaven, anticipating the general resurrection of all. Her age at her repose is not known, but many say that she was about sixty years old.
Today we're diving into the real Mary Magdalene story. Not the repentant sinner you heard about in Sunday school, but Mary the priestess, the apostle, the mystic, and spiritual teacher who some early Christians, aka Gnostics, saw as Jesus's equal partner in transmitting sacred wisdom. A Divine Tale This is a tale about divine feminine ... Read more The post Mary Magdalene Story – The Apostle They Tried to Silence appeared first on Intuitive Edge.
In this enriching episode of the Double Edged Sword Podcast, we journey with Father Genard into Acts 15, where faith, obedience, and divine authority converge. Discover how the early Church faced the challenge of Gentile salvation, learning that true faith in Christ transcends the law through love and obedience to His commandments. Drawing from the wisdom of the apostles and the unity of the Jerusalem Council, we're reminded that to know and love our Heavenly Father, we must embrace the Son as the way, and honor the apostles He appointed. As James 2:17 teaches, faith without deeds is lifeless—let us live out our belief, trusting in Christ's authority and the guidance of His Holy Spirit. Tune in and be strengthened in your walk with God!

In the 1 Kings' record Yahweh appears to Solomon in a dream. This was the second time that God had appeared to Solomon by dream. In the earlier promise God offers to Solomon a covenant like that to David Solomon's father. This was an eternal covenant, that was conditional on obeying the terms, and having a perpetual heir to his throne. The readings in Jeremiah 33 reminds us of David's unbreakable covenant. We also saw, that because of Coniah's corruption, the line of kingship ended with him and therefore terminated Solomon's line of succession. Luke 3 tells us this was to be transferred to Nathan , David's son. The chapter finishes in verses 10-28 with further great acts of Solomon, not all of which were well received. The first of these acts was the completion of the two houses - Yahweh's and Solomon's own house - twenty years these projects took. We are told of Solomon's gift of cities in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre. Hiram had greatly helped Solomon in the construction of the Temple. Hiram was displeased with the gift and described the cities as "dirty". We are also told of Solomon's store cities, the trade in horses and chariots, the ships Solomon built at Ezion-Geber. The chapter speaks of a well organised administration and vast tributes coming to his realm from surrounding subject kingdoms. Jeremiah's 35th chapter tells of an incredibly faithful family - the Rechabites. Their adherence to the rules imposed by their ancestor - Jonadab son of Rechab - went back almost 800 years, to when Israel under Moses were about to enter the Promised Land. Jeremiah is told to put wine before the Rechabites as a test. These men stay faithful to the charge of Jonadab and drink no wine. The Almighty commends their upholding of the 5th commandment - honouring their father (and mother) and pointed to the fact that these faithful Gentiles stood in marked contrast to God's disobedient children. Note God's covenant with the Rechabites stands on a par with that to David and to the offer to Solomon in our first reading.Mark 9 deals with the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory, as seen in his transfiguration. The three, Peter, James and John, witnesses our Lord Jesus Christ being seen with Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. These three Apostles were asked to keep secret what they had seen until after Jesus' rising. In the meantime the remainder of the twelve are frustrated by their failure to heal a deaf and mute boy. Our Lord points out that miracles of healing are not automatic, but dependent on the involvement of the healer. Once more Jesus spoke of his death and resurrection which left the Apostles dumbfounded - possibly their minds had been blinded by the witnessing of our Lord's glory. A dispute arose among his Apostles as to who was the greatest. Jesus answered the question via the lesson seen in the humility of a child being seen by them. Out Lord reminds those Apostles that without humility none can enter the kingdom. Christ next warns us not to categorise people who are not identical to ourselves. The chapter closes with the need for self examination and drastic action in order to enter the kingdom.More here https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

The rabbis made a number of different kinds of edits to their version of what some call ‘Scripture' (i.e., the Rabbinic or Masoretic Text). In some places, they fiddled with numbers, in some they changed names, and in still others they deleted entire sections of the text. In this final episode of the Old Testament portion of the Septuagint series, we examine the changes the rabbis made to the timelines (particularly the genealogies), the Book of Job, the Book of Esther, and a few other miscellaneous matters. The next two episodes will round out the LXX series with an examination of how the New Testament uses the Old (to the surprise of none, Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint), and then the final episode in the series will give a roadmap for where we, as the Church, go from here.

In this sermon on Acts 2:42-47, Pastor Patrick Austin revisits the four devotions of the early church—the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer—as Bay Leaf Baptist Church prepares to launch its second campus. Pastor Austin focuses specifically on devotion to the apostles' teaching, explaining that we must remain committed to Scripture because it reveals Christ to us, helps us in our journey toward Christ-likeness, and equips us for the mission of gospel saturation. When we remain devoted to the apostles' teaching, four significant things happen: our love for God deepens as we're continually reminded of His love for us; our walk with God matures as we submit to His Word; our boldness for God increases as we follow the example of the apostles; and God brings flourishing and growth to His church. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2, we are to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure."

1 Kings 8 tells us of the bringing up of the ark to Jerusalem with appropriate pomp and ceremony. Next came Solomon's extolling Yahweh and outlining the process that saw the ark coming to its typical resting place in the magnificent house, which had been built: 1 Chronicles 16 verses 8-36 records David's Psalm of thanksgiving penned at the time. David describes the spiritual significance of the occasion and how it types Christ's kingdom: carefully and slowly read Psalm 132 and meditate its meaning. Verses 22-53 recorded Solomon's prayer of dedication. Note the emphasis on the inadequacy of any house to befit the Almighty. And the repeated refrain, "then hear in Heaven, your dwelling place". The inadequacy of a physical house is emphasised. However as a sign of respect for the Omnipotent Creator of the Universe it was fitting for the Temple to be a magnificent building. We should particularly see the need for each of us to recognise the plague of our own heart, ie the sickness that in each of us leads us into sin - and some of us have strong weaknesses in a particular way - we need to know our weaknesses and those parts of our problem for which we must pray and where we need help to overcome these individual weaknesses. The chapter concludes with a blessing and the offering of accompanying sacrifices.Jeremiah chapter 34 contains an appeal to Zedekiah based upon the inevitable fate that the king and his city faced. Zedekiah was told that he must make a truce with Nebuchadnezzar and deal faithfully with the slaves according to the Law of Moses. If they comply with Yahweh's commands then disaster may be averted. But Zedekiah and his princes failed to comply and so would suffer the consequences. Brother C C Walker writes: "Zedekiah and his contemporaries despised the covenants of God and man, and because of this God gave them into the hands of the Babylonians and made "the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant".Mark's 8th chapter commences with the feeding of 4,000. The record contains some contrasts with that of the 5,000 - 1) the 5,000 were Jewish, the 4,000 were not; 2) the Apostles had immediate compassion for the 5,000, but no compassion for the others despite watching the multitude enduring for 3 days without any food; 3) the numbers involved differed and taught different messages out of the feedings. This is followed by the rulers asking, but not receiving another sign. A discussion about leaven took place between our Lord and his enemies. The disciples assume that Jesus was rebuking them for forgetting to take food. How illogical this was for he had shown the power to make food. It was about the corrupt influence of wrongful teaching. The chapter continues with the healing of a blind man. This man was cured by stages at Bethsaida, illustrating the problem of perception - we so often like that man see people out of proportion. Jesus next questions his Apostles on people's perception of himself. Then our Lord asks them who they thought him to be. Several answers were given until Peter responded by declaring that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God. All of the Apostles are charged to not reveal this until after our Lord Jesus Christ has been raised from the dead. Once again our Master speaks of his despicable treatment, crucifixion and resurrection the 3rd day. The chapter finishes with a command for each of us to take up our stake daily to follow our Lord Jesus.More here https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

To take God's name in vain is much more than simply using it as a curse word. Blaspheme is a symptom of something bigger. ‘In vain' means 'to empty.' So, we're called, not to empty God's name of its fullness, but rather to fill it with the fullness of God's nature and His work. By His name, God has made Himself known: He revealed Himself to the Israelites as ‘The great I am', the one and only true God, the 'Beginning and the End'. And, in the person of Jesus, he has fully revealed himself to the whole world. His name is Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Everlasting Lord. When we fill God's name with the fullness of His nature, we see Him more clearly, giving Him His rightful status and place in our lives and the world. To fill God's name with its fullness is also to acknowledge the unique work Jesus has done in making us right with God, beckoning us into God's presence. When we don't empty God's name of its nature and work, our prayer and worship lives are transformed. We approach God with confidence, not in our own name but in Jesus' name, knowing He is the great God, whose name is above all other names, who can do anything for us his children. By Ed Flint
Looking back, looking forward. While wrapping up his letter to the Christians in Rome, Paul introduces himself! Today his mini-résumé would be the "headline" of his "profile page." It looks to the past. And then the Apostle focuses on the future. What's on the horizon - and why is he so driven to accomplish his mission? For a few minutes, let's think about our lives in this same way. Where have we been, and where are we going?

How should we follow Paul's example?
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: In the second half of Romans 1, Paul gives a blistering rebuke of just about everything so accepted in our day by lukewarm Laodicean Christians. In chapter 2, we see a special emphasis on judging, judgment and the Judgment of God who as Paul will say later, is “no respecter of persons”. Paul ‘lets it fly' on the Jew and the Gentile with equal fervor. This is Part #2 in a Series.

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Two and Verse Forty Two
We have a fixed foundation date when the House for the LORD's worship was completed: BC 1004. Solomon is recorded in 1 Kings 6 as building a magnificent temple, which is described in this chapter. Seven years of meticulous building were occupied in the construction of this glorious House. Verses 1-6 speak of the dimensions and arrangements of this house - note that is largely modeled on the Tabernacle. Verse 7 mentions the wonderful skills of the stone masons. Verses 11-13 say that no matter how great the house was it would only be a true house for worship should Yahweh choose to dwell in it. His continuing presence depended on the faithfulness of His servants. Verses 14-22 describe the impressive materials that were used in this house. Verses 23-28 speak of the centre of worshipping - the Most Holy Place. Verses 29-37 reveal details of the walls and the entrance gates of this House.At an impossible time during the Babylonian siege Jeremiah was requested by his uncle's son, Hanameel, to buy a field in Anathoth; to which he complied. The field was bought, despite all evidence being contrary to this act. The times were oppressive the Babylonian was ravaging the land and Jerusalem was to soon be taken by Nebuchadnezzar. The normal contracts were drawn up for the field, witnesses attested by placing their signatures on the deeds. Those contracts were placed in an earthen vessel and buried at the site. In verses 16-25 Jeremiah prays to the Almighty for an explanation of what seems to be an impossibility: ie the prophet inheriting that field. Verses 26-35 tell how Jeremiah's Omnipotent Sovereign would fulfill His promise: NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THE ALMIGHTY. Never let us lose sight of this. What is impossible for us is easy for the LORD. Don't judge on the basis of how things appear to be. What our Sovereign has revealed is certain. Those who trust Him despite appearances will with Jeremiah receive the rewards of faithfulness. In Mark 6 Jesus returns to Nazareth where the previous 28 years of his life were spent. There above all other towns he should have been acclaimed. But this was not to be; as he declares "a prophet is without honour in his own country". In the words of John 1:12 "he came to his own and his own received him not". His capacity for healing here was limited by their unbelief. The twelve Apostles were sent out with a message for the hearers to repent. Their message was supported by the testimony of miracles. There follows a lengthy account of the death of John the Baptist - which includes Herod's respect for John's character. This was a trial for both the vicious Herod and the virtuous John. The Jezebel-like Salome secured John's death. The report of John's demise was devastating for Jesus, who sought solitude and time to reflect - his own death was but 12 months away. But crowds sought him and he had compassion for them, as they were "sheep lacking a shepherd". Joshua had asked the same request of Yahweh following Moses' death. 5,000 men, not counting women and children, are fed from five loaves and two fish. The twelve baskets of fragments are collected. The remains were greater than the initial fare. One lesson being that through Israel Messiah would feed the world. After this our Lord walks upon the Sea of Galilee indicating that he has power over the nations. And finally the boat into which Jesus enters reaches the shore. In this Jesus demonstrates that he would be the healer of the nations.More here https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

When last we met, Paul the Apostle, the crew, and the passengers had jumped overboard and made a swim for their life. And if you will remember, miraculously (and as God had promised), not a single person died. But once they got to shore, they still needed another miracle to save them. They had fought the currents. They had been inundated with with cold weather and bone chilling water. They were exhausted, and they were in need of help as they lay on the shore decimated by weather conditions, circumstances, and extreme measures that had been undertaken to stay alive. People on the island of Malta, found Paul, the crew, and the passengers, and with extraordinary kindess, they cared for them. They gave them shelter, clothing, food, and warmth around the fire. And as the stranded passengers recuprate, Paul the Apostle begins pouring his heart out to them through service. He begins helping the locals gather firewood to warm those who were exhausted and trying to warm themselve by the fire. and it is here that God begins demonstrating once again who He is.
Jesus Followers Have a Personal Relationship with the Creator of the Universe So Pray, Listen, and Be Patient for God's Call MESSAGE SUMMARY: No interaction with the Holy Spirit is too small for you or for God, and no Spiritual outcomes are too big for you or for God. Jesus illustrates, in the “Parable of the Mustard Seed", that big things come from small beginnings. The selection, by Jesus, of His initial twelve Apostles, led to the growth of Christianity from twelve followers to more than two billion Christians. So, when God gives you a vision or He puts on your heart to start a ministry or to visit the home bound; and you think the Spirit's is so small or inconsequential, just remember small beginnings lead to significant outcomes through the Lord. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commissions and promises His support to His Apostles and to us; therefore, how can any call, from the Holy Spirit, be too inconsequential or unsupported for us to embrace: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'” Pray, listen, and be patient. After all, you have a personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe! TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

Continuing with our series “UNSTOPPABLE Church”, today Pastor Jodi teaches on how to speak the language of those you're witnessing to. When Paul the Apostle went into Athens, he was disturbed by all the idols he saw. This inspired him to bring the truth to those who seemed confused. What can we learn from Paul about his approach to sharing the Gospel? Come and learn from Acts 17 how to speak the language and expand the Kingdom of God in our culture today.Key Scriptures:Acts 17:16-34
The Lord's Record, the Wheat and the Tares, and the Coming War: D&C 85–87 Unveiled | Dr. D. Todd: Jesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and GenerationsIn this week's revelatory message, Dr. D. Todd Harrison opens Doctrine and Covenants 85–87—three sections that speak with sobering clarity about the Lord's expectations, His coming judgments, and the spiritual record being kept of every soul.Viewers will learn:D&C 85 – The Lord commands that a record be kept of those who inherit Zion and those who rebel. He warns that those who claim blessings without obedience will be “cut off,” and that He will “send one mighty and strong” to set His house in order.D&C 86 – The parable of the wheat and the tares is revealed anew. The Lord explains that the Apostles of old sowed the wheat, but apostasy allowed tares to grow. In the last days, the Lord will separate them—and the righteous will shine forth.D&C 87 – A prophecy of war beginning with South Carolina, expanding to engulf nations. The Lord declares that “all nations will be at war,” and that His judgments will be poured out until the full end.This message is not just historical—it is present. The Lord is still keeping record. The wheat and tares are still growing together. And the storm clouds of prophecy are gathering. Dr. Harrison invites all to prepare spiritually, walk uprightly, and seek the Spirit's confirmation of these truths."I testify as an Apostle and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that the revelations in Doctrine and Covenants 85–87 are not distant—they are unfolding. The Lord is keeping record. He knows who walks in covenant and who claims blessings without obedience.The wheat and the tares grow together still. But the separation is coming. And the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.I declare that the wars prophesied in Section 87 are not metaphor—they are real. The Lord has spoken. And His judgments will come. But so will His deliverance.I speak these words as one sent directly by Jesus Christ to declare His living voice. He has called me to warn, to teach, and to invite. The time is short. The record is being written. And the Spirit is bearing witness.In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen."Dr. D.

The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death. For Sunday Prayer to obtain the virtue of Humility. St, Philip, my glorious Patron, who on earth didst so love humility as to count the praise and even the good esteem of men as dross; obtain for me also this virtue by thy prayers. Thou knowest how haughty I am in my thoughts, how contemptuous in my words, how ambitious in my doings. Ask for me humility of heart; that my mind may be freed from all pride, and impressed with the same low esteem of self which thou hadst of thyself, counting thyself the worst of all men, and for that reason rejoicing when thou didst suffer contempt, and seeking out for thyself occasions of enduring it. Great Saint, obtain for me a true humble heart and the knowledge of my own nothingness; that I may rejoice when I am despised, and resent not when others are preferred before me; that I may never be vain when I am praised, but may ever seek only to be great in the eyes of God, desiring to receive from Him alone all my exaltation. Pater, Ave, Gloria. Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

He was numbered among the Seventy. Then, when Judas who betrayed Christ had taken his own life, the disciples (120 men and women) convened to choose one who would take his place among the Twelve. They nominated two, Joseph (called Barsabas or Justus) and Matthias, then cast lots. The lot fell to Matthais, who henceforth was numbered among the Twelve (See Acts ch. 1). Accounts of his Apostolate after this vary. According to some, he preached the Gospel in Ethiopia and met his martyrdom there. According to others, after visiting Ethiopia he returned to Judea, where he was tried and condemned by Ananias the High Priest, and stoned to death, then beheaded.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Dominic, Priest Lectionary: 411The Saint of the day is Saint DominicSaint Dominic’s Story If he hadn't taken a trip with his bishop, Dominic would probably have remained within the structure of contemplative life; after the trip, he spent the rest of his life being a contemplative in active apostolic work. Born in old Castile, Spain, Dominic was trained for the priesthood by a priest-uncle, studied the arts and theology, and became a canon of the cathedral at Osma, where there was an attempt to revive the apostolic common life described in Acts of the Apostles. On a journey through France with his bishop, Dominic came face to face with the then virulent Albigensian heresy at Languedoc. The Albigensians–or Cathari, “the pure ones”–held to two principles—one good, one evil—in the world. All matter is evil—hence they denied the Incarnation and the sacraments. On the same principle, they abstained from procreation and took a minimum of food and drink. The inner circle led what some people regarded as a heroic life of purity and asceticism not shared by ordinary followers. Dominic sensed the need for the Church to combat this heresy, and was commissioned to be part of the preaching crusade against it. He saw immediately why the preaching crusade was not succeeding: the ordinary people admired and followed the ascetical heroes of the Albigenses. Understandably, they were not impressed by the Catholic preachers who traveled with horse and retinues, stayed at the best inns and had servants. Dominic therefore, with three Cistercians, began itinerant preaching according to the gospel ideal. He continued this work for 10 years, being successful with the ordinary people but not with the leaders. His fellow preachers gradually became a community, and in 1215 Dominic founded a religious house at Toulouse, the beginning of the Order of Preachers or Dominicans. Dominic’s ideal, and that of his Order, was to organically link a life with God, study, and prayer in all forms, with a ministry of salvation to people by the word of God. His ideal: contemplata tradere: “to pass on the fruits of contemplation” or “to speak only of God or with God.” Reflection The Dominican ideal, like that of all religious communities, is for the imitation, not merely the admiration, of the rest of the Church. The effective combining of contemplation and activity is the vocation of truck driver Smith as well as theologian Aquinas. Acquired contemplation is the tranquil abiding in the presence of God, and is an integral part of any full human life. It must be the wellspring of all Christian activity.

Today in History: Shabbat Nachamu (Sabbath of Consolation) is the Sabbath that comes after the 9th of Av. It gets its name from the Haftarah in Isaiah 40, “Comfort, O comfort My people [Nachamu, nachamu ami].” It is the first of the 7 “Haftarot of Comfort.” The encouraging prophetic readings on Shabbat lead all the way up to Rosh HaShanah (Trumpets). Tu B'Av (the 15th of Av) is known as the “Festival of Love.” In ancient times, people celebrated that the yearly gathering of wood for the Temple altar was finished. The daughters of Jerusalem would go out to dance in the vineyards. Whoever was not married would go there to find a bride (tradition, see b.Taanit 31a).This week's portion is called ”Va'etchanan” (I pleaded)TORAH PORTION: Deuteronomy 6:4–7:11HAFTARAH: Isaiah 40:1–26APOSTLES: 1 Peter 1:18–25How does the Haftarah connect to these weeks of consolation?How do the Apostles connect to this week's Haftarah?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 6, is the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, a commemoration which started in the 11th century and anticipates the glory of heaven, where we shall see God face to face.The Gospel of Luke (Luke 9:28b–36) recounts this event of the glorified Jesus representing the fulfillment of Old Testament revelation, symbolized by Moses as the Law and Elijah as the prophets.The Transfiguration of Christ reveals the fullness of life for every single human being. It's the will of God in His glory and luminous beauty for all of us.The transfigured Christ is an invitation for a personal relationship with the Savior.We achieve this especially through the sacraments of confession and the Eucharist, as we fall in adoration, content to be with Jesus alone.The Transfiguration took place about a year before the Passion. Jesus took with him St. Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, Sts. James and John, and led them to a retired mountain. Tradition assures us that this was Mount Thabor, which was anciently covered with green trees and was very fruitful. This was the place, in the middle of Galilee, in which the Man-God appeared in His glory.His face was altered and shone as the sun, and his garments became white as snow-white brightness. Moses and Elias were seen by the three apostles in his company on this occasion, and were heard discoursing with him of the death which he was to suffer in Jerusalem.The three apostles were delighted with this glorious vision, and St. Peter cried out to Christ, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for thee, one for Moses, and one for Elias.”Whilst St. Peter was speaking, there came a bright shining cloud from heaven, an emblem of the presence of God's majesty, and from out of this cloud was heard a voice which said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”The apostles that were present, upon hearing this voice, were seized with a sudden fear, and fell upon the ground; but Jesus, going to them, touched them, and bade them to rise. They immediately did so and saw no one but Jesus standing in his ordinary state.In the Transfiguration, Christ enjoyed for a short while that glorified state which was to be permanently His after His Resurrection on Easter Sunday. The splendor of His inward Divinity and of the Beatific Vision of His soul overflowed on His body.The purpose of the Transfiguration was to encourage and strengthen the Apostles who were depressed by their Master's prediction of His own Passion and Death.The Apostles were made to understand that His redeeming work has two phases: The Cross, and Glory—that we shall be glorified with Him only if we first suffer with Him.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
