 1 In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:In diebus illis iterum cum turba multa esset, nec haberent quod manducarent, convocatis discipulis, ait illis : 2 I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.Misereor super turbam : quia ecce jam triduo sustinent me, nec habent quod manducent : 3 And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.et si dimisero eos jejunos in domum suam, deficient in via : quidam enim ex eis de longe venerunt. 4 And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?Et responderunt ei discipuli sui : Unde illos quis poterit saturare panibus in solitudine? 5 And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.Et interrogavit eos : Quot panes habetis? Qui dixerunt : Septem. 6 And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.Et praecepit turbae discumbere super terram. Et accipiens septem panes, gratias agens fregit, et dabat discipulis suis ut apponerent, et apposuerunt turbae. 7 And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.Et habebant pisciculos paucos : et ipsos benedixit, et jussit apponi. 8 And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.Et manducaverunt, et saturati sunt, et sustulerunt quod superaverat de fragmentis, septem sportas. 9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.Erant autem qui manducaverunt, quasi quatuor millia : et dimisit eos.Jesus miraculously feeds 4000. He foreshadows how He will feed the souls of men by means of the Holy Sacrament-The True Bread from heaven.

"If you're hard in your heart, you can't perceive certain things. If you're hard in your heart, you can't even understand certain things. If you're hard in your heart, I can't even get to you what I want to get to you. I've got a whole warehouse with your name on it and you can't receive any of it because your heart is hardened." --Pastor Omar Ellison In "The Father's Voice - Part 2," Pastor Omar Ellison delivers a crucial message about the perils of a hardened heart, building on the foundation of Hebrews 3. He defines hardening as becoming callous, preventing us from perceiving, understanding, or receiving anything God desires to send our way—His voice, His blessings, His will. The sermon delves into how this hardening often stems from errors in our thinking, urging listeners to align their thoughts with God's Word rather than their feelings or external circumstances. Pastor Ellison highlights that unbelief is a choice and can lead to a slow departure from God (Hebrews 3:12), often undetected for years. He stresses the biblical mandate to exhort one another daily (Hebrews 3:13), keeping each other encouraged to prevent hearts from hardening through the deceitfulness of sin. This isn't just about mistakes, but a continuous, comfortable indulgence in known wrong, which ultimately dulls conviction and spiritual sensitivity. Through vivid examples from Mark's Gospel (Mark 3, Mark 6, Mark 8), Pastor Ellison illustrates how a hardened heart prevents recognition of God's power, even in the face of undeniable miracles. He shows how the Pharisees, witnessing Jesus' healing (Mark 3:2-6), were so hardened that they sought to destroy Him rather than receive the truth. He points out that being "amazed" or "struck with awe" at God's goodness can ironically indicate a hardened heart if it means we haven't been considering or meditating on His past works (Mark 6:51-52; Mark 8:14-21). The teaching powerfully calls believers to rehearse God's miracles daily, no matter how small, as a vital practice to maintain a soft, receptive heart, capable of perceiving, understanding, and applying His truth, even amidst life's storms. Failure to do so, he warns (Proverbs 29:1), leads to a sudden, remediless destruction in our spiritual lives. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

 15 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.Amen dico vobis : Quisquis non receperit regnum Dei velut parvulus, non intrabit in illud. 16 And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.Et complexans eos, et imponens manus super illos, benedicebat eos. 17 And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?Et cum egressus esset in viam, procurrens quidam genu flexo ante eum, rogabat eum : Magister bone, quid faciam ut vitam aeternam percipiam? 18 And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.Jesus autem dixit ei : Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus, nisi unus Deus. 19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.Praecepta nosti : ne adulteres, ne occidas, ne fureris, ne falsum testimonium dixeris, ne fraudum feceris, honora patrem tuum et matrem. 20 But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.At ille respondens, ait illi : Magister, haec omnia observavi a juventute mea. 21 And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.Jesus autem intuitus eum, dilexit eum, et dixit ei : Unum tibi deest : vade, quaecumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo : et veni, sequere me.St Anthony Mary, born at Cremona Italy, took his degree as doctor of medicine at Padua, but God called him to the priesthood.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Frank & Peggy Pittenger from South Bound Brook, NJ. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 9:38-41: John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. For the one who is not against us is for us. For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.” — Mark 9:38–41 On this July 4th, we celebrate freedom. But as followers of Christ, we know there's greater freedom—a freedom not won by force but by grace. Today's text challenges us to think beyond our own independence and toward interdependence within the body of Christ. John comes to Jesus with a complaint. “Someone outside our circle is casting out demons in your name. Let's shut him down.” And Why? “Because he is not following us.” There it is. Not Jesus. Us. This wasn't a case of false teaching—it was spiritual tribalism. A turf war. And Jesus rebukes it. “Don't stop him… the one who is not against us is for us.” Jesus is widening their perspective. Kingdom work doesn't always come through your group, your denomination, or your favorite leader. The Spirit of God is not limited to our preferred lanes. That said, Scripture is clear—not every spiritual-looking person is worth following. Some use Jesus' name without his authority. And we must test fruit, not just flash (see Matthew 7:15–23). But that's not the situation here. This was real fruit. Real ministry. Just outside the disciples' bubble. Jesus reminds them: “Even a cup of water given in my name won't go unrewarded.” That's how far God's grace and reward go. Even the smallest act, if done for Christ, is noticed and honored. So here's the question: Are you more loyal to your camp than you are to Christ? Don't let your spiritual pride become a spiritual roadblock. Don't gatekeep the kingdom. Celebrate gospel work—even when it's not from someone in your inner circle. And on this day of national independence, remember this—our unity in Christ is what makes us truly free. #FreedomInChrist, #KingdomUnity, #Mark9 ASK THIS: Have I mistaken group loyalty for Christ-centered unity? How can I discern real gospel fruit from false appearances? Do I rejoice when others succeed in ministry? Where might pride be limiting my kingdom vision? DO THIS: Encourage someone doing faithful work for Christ outside your usual circles. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me celebrate your work—even when it doesn't come through me. Free me from pride and expand my heart for your kingdom. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Build Your Kingdom Here.”

14 At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again.Novissime recumbentibus illis undecim apparuit : et exprobravit incredulitatem eorum et duritiam cordis : quia iis, qui viderant eum resurrexisse, non crediderunt. 15 And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.Et dixit eis : Euntes in mundum universum praedicate Evangelium omni creaturae. 16 He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.Qui crediderit, et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit : qui vero non crediderit, condemnabitur. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.Signa autem eos qui crediderint, haec sequentur : in nomine meo daemonia ejicient : linguis loquentur novis : 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.serpentes tollent : et si mortiferum quid biberint, non eis nocebit : super aegros manus imponent, et bene habebunt. 19 And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God.Et Dominus quidem Jesus postquam locutus est eis, assumptus est in caelum, et sedet a dextris Dei. 20 But they going forth preached everywhere: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.Illi autem profecti praedicaverunt ubique, Domino cooperante, et sermonem confirmante, sequentibus signis.Instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ to His Disciples.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 8:34—9:1 - Jesus summoned the crowd with His disciples and said to them, "Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and that of the Gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? What could one give in exchange for his life? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels." He also said to them, "Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the Kingdom of God has come in power." 2, 3, 4) Father Sebastian Walshe, O.Praem., joins Terry to discuss his new book: Saint John the Baptist: Priest, Prophet, and Martyr (TAN BOOKS) https://tanbooks.com/products/books/saint-john-the-baptist-priest-prophet-and-martyr/?srsltid=AfmBOoqrLcchV7mr8rVYHg_gM1FFECSwKk5kwWc5bVHyaKHclT5me7K-

Gospel  Mark 10:28-31 Peter began to say to Jesus, 'We have given up everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. But many that are first will be last, and the last will be first.” Reflection It's clear that Jesus had a message that people could not fathom at the beginning, because they didn't have the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to help them. So when he talks about the first being last, the last being first, he's saying, I'm going to be giving you a whole new vision of who you are and what this world is about and why you're here. And what he's saying to his disciples, be patient. It's difficult to rethink everything, but simply know that it leads to a fullness. It's not a loss. But a gain. Closing Prayer Father, we always want things to be more simple. We want to say, if I do this, I get this reward. Bless us with a freedom from that kind of thinking. Open this up to a new mystery.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 10:1-12 - Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds gathered around Him and, as was His custom, He again taught them. The Pharisees approached Him and asked, ""Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?"" They were testing Him. He said to them in reply, ""What did Moses command you?"" They replied, ""Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her."" But Jesus told them, ""Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate."" In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3) Cardinals could collude to elect an anti-Trump modernist successor to Pope Francis https://stream.org/cardinals-could-collude-to-elect-an-anti-trump-successor-to-pope-francis/ 3, 4) The coming Trumpian Pope https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/the-coming-trumpian-pope

  Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 9:41-50 - Jesus said to His disciples: ""Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward. ""Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. ""Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid, with what will you restore its flavor? Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another.""

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 9:30-37 - Jesus and His disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but He did not wish anyone to know about it. He was teaching His disciples and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill Him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise." But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question Him. They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, He began to ask them, "What were you arguing about on the way?" But they remained silent. For they had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then He sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all." Taking a child, He placed it in their midst, and putting His Arms around it, He said to them, "Whoever receives one child such as this in My Name, receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but the One Who sent Me."

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 9:38-40 - John said to Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in Your Name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in My Name who can at the same time speak ill of Me. For whoever is not against us is for us."

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 8:34—9:1 - Jesus summoned the crowd with His disciples and said to them, "Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and that of the Gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? What could one give in exchange for his life? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels." He also said to them, "Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the Kingdom of God has come in power." 2, 3, 4) Father Robert Spitzer on his book: Fr.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 8:27-33 - Jesus and His disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to Him in reply, “You are the Christ.” Then He warned them not to tell anyone about Him. He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke him. At this He turned around and, looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3)  How to make a good examination of conscience and a good confession 4) Spiritual Warfare: The Masculine Biblical Theology of Prayer https://catholicexchange.com/spiritual-warfare-the-masculine-biblical-theology-of-prayer/

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 8:14-21 - The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. Jesus enjoined them, “Watch out, guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”  They concluded among themselves that it was because they had no bread. When He became aware of this He said to them, “Why do you conclude that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? And do you not remember, when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?” They answered him, “Twelve.” “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?” They answered him, “Seven.” He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) Barak Obama sounded like a Republican on illegals in 2007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12e6uKM8iZQ Hillary Clinton AGREES with President Trump on DEPORTING criminals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m1Z2KfYaVU 3) Pope Francis minimizes chastity, tolerates homosexuality, and adultery https://www.returntoorder.org/2025/02/pope-francis-minimizes-chastity-tolerates-homosexuality-and-adultery/ 4) How our words often reflect the state of our soul How our words often reflect the state of our soul
