“SO THEY WENT OFF AND PREACHED REPENTANCE.”MK 6:7-13
Humbly submit your will to God (thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Prayer Prompt before reading MK 6:7-13: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.
Jesus gave authority to the Apostles over unclean spirits and authority to cure the sick by anointing them with oil. Jesus’ authority did not stop with the 12 Apostles, but from Peter was passed on to Linus and down to Pope Francis. This authority was passed down to bishops and priests who are still preaching repentance, casting out demons, and curing the sick. This proves to us that Jesus has the authority to pass on His powers to specific people He gives the power to.
The pope, bishops, and ordained priests all have been given authority by Christ to forgive sins, consecrate the Eucharist, anoint the sick and give them last rites, to Baptize in the name of the Trinity, to confirm the Holy Spirit in us, to witness a couple making wedding vows. God the Father set up the priesthood in the tribe of the Levites in the Old Testament, then Jesus instituted the first priesthood at the Last Supper, and continues to call priests to be ordained today and works through them to heal, cure, and cast out demons.
Don’t believe me? Fr. Ben Green gave absolution to my son, Nathan, and many other 2nd graders for first reconciliation. In the Year of Fr. Kapaun, we took time to reflect on his intercession from heaven to heal Chase Kear who should have died after a pole vaulting accident, Avery Gerlemen from a blood disease that was eating her alive from the inside, and Nick Dellesega who was without a pulse for 9 and half minutes. We don’t hear these things on the nightly news very often. We must search them out because God’s grace, love, and authority are the most powerful things in the world. The sick are cured, demons are cast out, and reconciliation is taking place right now all over the world.
Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day, allow Jesus’ teachings to transform you and change your perspective to ‘what is’, reality, or Truth. This conversion takes place slowly or sometimes all at once. It requires faith and an open heart and mind, total surrender and trust (fiat). Jesus is sending you and I out today two by two, after being formed by Him, to change the world by being who He created us to be.
Today’s challenge: Read about Fr. Kapaun’s story at http://catholicdioceseofwichita.org/father-kapaun or find a book on Fr. Kapaun and read it. Put good and holy people and things around you. Humble yourself and recognize we need God, if you seek Him out you will not be disappointed. All of us are called to be saints, with a specific role for our journey. Ask Jesus what your role is in this life then take nothing with you but your walking stick and be amazed at what Christ will do through you!
Be a servant,be a saint today!
#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; We will live again!)
Jesus is always watching us and taking care of us. He gives the saints authority to intercede for us, and He is always watching. Jesus has given us powers that we can use, if we only know how to access them. He loves us and is always taking care of us.
Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day, allow Jesus’ teachings to transform you and change your perspective to ‘what is’, reality, or Truth. This conversion takes place slowly or sometimes all at once. It requires faith and an open heart and mind, total surrender and trust
Something that I got out of this was that when we do what is our plan from God, he provides everything we need. He said just get you shoes and some clothes, and with the bare minimum they were able to do God’s work, and what he wanted us to do. We should realize that we do not need all the nice things, and the newest phone or clothes. We just need to be in the presence of God, and do what he wants us to do.
I think that Jesus is trying to say in today’s Gospel that anyone can be a missionary. He sent the twelve apostles but it could have been twelve other people and God could have given them the power to drive out demons because God is all powerful. So I think we should take today’s Gospel as a call to be missionaries and serve people we can do this by praying for others who need it and treating people with the respect that they deserve.
In todays gospel the lord sends out the apostles to deal with unclean spirits and that they will not bring much with them, If the house did not listen they were to shake the dust off their shoes in testimony against them. THe lord sends out his apostle just like he sends out us to take care of our brothers and sisters in the lord. Have an amazing day everyone!.
“Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day, allow Jesus’ teachings to transform you and change your perspective to ‘what is’, reality, or Truth. This conversion takes place slowly or sometimes all at once. It requires faith and an open heart and mind, total surrender and trust (fiat).” Today God is telling me that it does take time if you really want to convert yourself into being a Catholic or even getting yourself closer to God. Take your time to try to get away from bad examples and stay with the people that lead you toward God. You can still have fun while doing this though and it doesn’t have to all be boring and it should not feel like torture or else you aren’t doing it right. You should be happy that you are getting closer to God and it should lead you to greater things. Without God we would be nothing, but its thanks to Him that we are here and done so many great things. The devil will try to get a hold of you while you are trying to change yourself for the better still, but don’t let that affect you. Once you do get closer to God then you will be unstoppable and you will feel better than ever, once you start pulling away tho, you won’t notice but you will change and it will lead to bad habits and you will get stuck in this hole where you can’t get out. You will think you are happy till you reach the very bottom, then you will realize what you have done and how bad life has gotten. Stay with God for He is our way to Heaven and greatness.
Todays Gospel is about how Jesus gives us authority to rule over the world. He gives us the power to preach, to be missionaries to heal to cast out demons and much more. There is also and unbroken chain of priests bishops and popes witch traces back to the first people who Jesus gave this power to
“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there.” this phrase stands out to me because I feel God talking to me through this and he is telling me to enter his house and stay there until I have eternal life.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives his apostles the power to cast out demons and cure the sick. Before, Jesus was the only one who could do this and now, it has been passed on for generations. The saints have been able to cure people too because of Jesus’s power. Jesus only wants what’s best for us and he gives His power for healing and for good. Jesus loves us and He will never stop loving us.
Today the apostles were sent to cast out demons and to preach the gospel, but God says that they must only wear the shoes on their feet and no other clothes or food or water. Nothing they must go out with only the help of the people that they are saving and preaching too. They did this in the name of the Lord and they were able to survive and conquer many demons. It is so cool to see some kind of evidence about God leading them to places where they will be able to survive and convert people. Today in this story the apostles I think kind of relate to like us at the school of St. Francis in the way that we need to save and preach to people. I don’t know if we have to only go with shoes and one pair of clothes maybe not that drastic measure, but we need to go and save. I think the people that they are going to save are everyone in the world that is not already with God. We may not do as much as the apostles and save as many as the apostles did, but anything that we do can help.
Today Jesus sends out the 12 and tells them to clean unclean spirits with absolutely nothing. He tells them to go out just with sandals and one robe and no food or money. In doing this the 12 cleaned many spirits. Just like today priests lead us on our journey to Heaven. They are cleaning our souls and preparing us for what is to come when we face God. We need to do our best to follow them and try to be the best people we can be.
I think that God is trying to tell us that no matter what you do he can heal you and you just have to believe in him.
Jesus can cleanse us of many things. He can rebuke unclean spirits, he can heal the sick, and he can forgive our sins. Our God is so loving and caring and he forgives us when we don’t deserve it, he keeps us safe from the devil and tries to protect us. We have to see how amazing God is. we don’t deserve him and he doesn’t need us, but we need him.
Take time too fill your minds with holy things each day this stands out to me because it shows that when we take 30 minutes out of our 24 hour day just to thank God because He gave us everything. We could take a break from our phone or TV or even when we go to bed. Just 30 minutes that’s all it takes for us to give something to God, after all he gave us life and his son, you cant give much more than that.
“SO THEY WENT OFF AND PREACHED REPENTANCE.”MK 6:7-13
In today’s Gospel, I believe Jesus is trying to teach us that we will receive it all as long as we believe in him and receive the sacraments. When Jesus told the twelve apostles exactly what to do, I believe they knew what power He was giving them and yet they stayed humble. I hope that we are all going to be like this one day when Jesus gives us all the power in the world. Jesus will always love us even though we have sinned against Him in the past. He has always forgiven us especially when we don’t know He is there we are still loved.
In the Gospel today, Jesus gives his apostles the permission to use his name to heal and cleanse people and spirits. Whenever I see the Chosen or other catholic media. I always hear people say “In the name of Jesus”. But why In the name of Jesus. Why does Jesus want us to use his name. His name is power, he has a savior in his name, he can break the chains in which you are bonded in. You no longer have to fear. Whenever people use his name not only they are cleansed but they are welcomed into a reality in which they are no longer a slave. For they are saved. We are called to be instruments of God’ word. We don’t need to be holy, we don’t need to be perfect, we don’t need to have the power. Because God is giving you the power in his name. Not your name, but his name. People began to get confused with why this is working, why is this actually real. It’s because God who is in a divine reality comes into our reality to give the mighty touch of cleansing. This is why God is not just divine, or not just human he is both. He is a man so that when he is in our reality he can come through divine reality to cleanse. Don’t be afraid because we are all called to do this, we should see the smiles on everybody’s face because they are free from these prison walls that cannot be broken down. In the name of Jesus, will save you. But mostly it’s your father that saves you. So have faith, and not walk by sight. Give, pray, love, Do not be afraid.
It might be irrelevant, but Jesus sending them in two by two reminds me of the Noahs Arc thing, how animals went in two by two. Also Jesus told them to go without food, water, money, but really just a walking stick. It would be scary walking to places with only a walking stick and a pair of sandles, but the Twelve followed and did as Jesus asked, and spread his word. Its amazing the power he gave them to drive out demons and heal just like he does.
In today’s gospel these words stuck out to me “The Twelve drove out many demons”
These words stuck out to me because we can drive out demons like the devil from our
lives by praying the rosary. The devil is scared by the overwhelming power of the rosary
And he flees away from wherever we pray to God.
i feel like in this scripture God is telling me that he is giving us authority to rule over the world because he gave us free will and so with that we can do anything
God and Jesus are always here loving us forever. If we allow Jesus’s teaching into our life we can strengthen our relationship with him. Forming a better relationship with Jesus is hard, it is never easy to get past the obstacle of sin. Mass is a great way to overcome sin so we can live a holy life with Jesus.
anyone can heal its not just limited to holy people. You just have to have faith in God. just believe in him that he will heal.
God provides everything we need in our lives. We don’t always need to be the fanciest person or have the things that we want like the new phone or expensive clothes. Be happy with what you have and realize you don’t need fancy clothes or jewelry or any of that stuff.
In todays scripture reflection its saying that we need to trust Jesus and believe in his plan. its going to take time but Jesus will always be by our side, no matter what happens Jesus iOS going to love us and care for us.
In today’s Gospel Jesus tells his disciples to go and clean the unclean spirits. If you have faith in God you would let him in and He would help cleanse your spirit so you could be even closer to Him.
God was telling me to always listion to him and to what he is telling me to be on this earth
Conversion requires faith and an open heart and mind, total surrender and trust. This stood out to me because it really takes total surrender and trust to convert and give yourself totally to God.
I think God is trying to tell us that Once you do get closer to God you will be unstoppable. You should find God”Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day, allow Gods teachings to transform you and change your perspective to ‘what is’, reality, or Truth.”
I think this is telling us that if we listen to Gods word and truly believe it anything can happen. Jesus allows things to happen and he tells us when we listen to him we can learn the truth and all he has to offer about his faith. We just nead to beleive in his word.
Today’s Gospel takes place after the ressurection of Jesus. He is telling the apostles to go out to the world and preach what they know and to drive out demons. We are like the apostles here. We should be the ones going out into the world and doing God’s good will.
I think Jesus is trying to tell us that we need to trust him just like his apostles had to when they traveled from city to city. Just as they had to trust God to provide for them so must we, although not with basic everyday physical needs but with spiritual needs instead. Jesus is also telling us we should be kind and generous to those in need. We must help others like Jesus describes in the gospel. We must be like the kind people to the apostles and our reward will be in heaven.
I think God is trying to tell us that you need nothing but God to go with you in the journeys you go on. “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.” If somebody doesn’t listen to your preaching pr doesn’t respect you, leave that place, “leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them” God will decide where they go but when it is their turn it is yours to speak what you know and what they have done while you were there.
“SO THEY WENT OF AND PREACHED REPENTANCE”.Mk 6:7-13 in todays gospel Jesus gathers the twelve and gives them the authority over unclean spirits.This gospel brings in the first priests.God tells us to trust in his will.This gospel makes me think that God trusts in us to make the right decision but wants us to trust in him
Todays reflection is calling me how to embrace God correctly. To be patient. To have faith. To believe. To be open minded and accept God as our Lord and savior.
“God the Father set up the priesthood in the tribe of the Levites in the Old Testament, then Jesus instituted the first priesthood at the Last Supper, and continues to call priests to be ordained today and works through them to heal, cure, and cast out demons”
I feel like this means that we should always trust the bishops,preist, and pope. this is because when we confess to them all the demons are asked out but the holy spirit is casted in!
It was telling me to know and relive who we are and what our part is in this world and what we are needed to do.
The Lord told me today that nothing is impossible. Like Jesus sent out the apostles and they healed people. So this means that not only God can heal people but so can we. We can pray for someone or we can pray with them. The Lord wants you to this not only will you heal the person but it will heal your soul to!
I think todys gospel is trying to say that God wants to heal us which is why he gives his apostles and saints the power to but for us to be healed we must believe have faith pray and pray to God because then that will alow him to come into our lives and heal us.
something I got from this was that God is always watching us. God can see everything we do and all the sins we do and all the good things that we do. God is watching us and he has cameras no us basically. God loves us and wants to take care of us and the saints are there to help us get back on the right track and make us want to be saints as well they are our inspiration.
“SO THEY WENT OFF AND PREACHED REPENTANCE.”MK 6:7-13 We need to follow Jesus example and preach to others and share the Gospel. We also need to repent to God and go to confession.
I think that the Gospel is trying to tell me that even if you have nothing except for prayer, you will help others.
I feel like its trying to tell me that we are meant to go help others and that God will help us
Jesus gives authority so you can do the good
I think that the Gospel today is telling us to go out and preach to people, and to not seem wealthy while doing it or people make take it for the wrong idea. I think that due to what he said “He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick
–no food, no sack, no money in their belts.
They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic.” Also another thing is how Jesus said this “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there.
Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,
leave there and shake the dust off your feet
in testimony against them.” I think he is trying to tell us that people who don’t believe may not receive.
This scripture reflection tells me about how we need to fill our minds with good things. There are many bad things in the world and we need to control ourselves to not do bad things and to be pure
God is telling me that he can clean or heal many things. Just like father said yesterday, healing is not a magic trick, its a prayer to God which you have faith in. Just have faith in God in general. Viva Cristo Rey!
What Jesus is trying to tell me today is that anyone can listen to God. When Jesus told his disciples that they will find somewhere to stay we must be ready for someone to come to ask to ask to stay in our hearts such as Jesus. We must always be ready by going to confession and receiving the Eucharist and praying daily.
In todays gospel God tole me that nothing is ever impossible no matter what. he sent out the 12 apostles 2 by 2 and drove out demons and all other unclean spirits within others this shows me that you dont have to be Gods son to perform what the apostles did
I think God is trying to tell me that Christ and the Apostles are part of the reason for members of the Clergy. It goes without saying without Priests we wouldn’t be able to have the Eucharist and Christ inside us.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that anything is possible if you have God. If you believe in Him, trust in Him, love Him, and let Him help, He will take all the heavy weight off your shoulder.
God is always watching over us when we are on a journey, when we don´t feel good or anything. He will always provide and care for everyone!
I think it was neat that they were paired up and then sent to go preach and left with no money or food or drink
“God’s grace, love, and authority are the most powerful things in the world.” God is more powerful then your sin and will always forgive you and love you no matter what.
I think in the Gospel today God is telling us that we should be kind to everyone, and welcome them.
“The sick are cured, demons are cast out, and reconciliation is taking place right now all over the world.” If the sick is cured it’s because of Jesus. Everything Jesus does, it helps us get better. So whenever your feeling bad, sick, injured, just reach out to Jesus and he will help you.
scripture today told me that God, he provides everything we need. He said just get you shoes and some clothes, and with the bare minimum they were able to do Gods work and what he wanted us to do. We should realize that we do not need all the nice things, and the newest phone or clothes. We just need to be in the presence of God and do what he wants us to do.
“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.” I think this means when we go out to preach the gospel, we need to be grateful and not cause trouble.
In the Gospel today it talks about how Jesus sent out his 12 apostles to go preach to people about God and all that he has done for us and to not leave even if the people don’t want them there.
What I got from this scripture reflection is that we need to understand free will and what that really means just because we can do something does not mean we should and that is hard for us to understand but all you need to ask yourself what should be doing.
The power to cast out demons is one some people today have. Anyone can be a healer, all it takes is prayer and God will help them. God never will abandon us in our time of need. Having someone pray over you might be awkward but it is truly powerful in ways we cant understand. God will choose when he wants us to be healed. It may be right at that moment or it might be months but God will show you mercy and heal you.
God is the most powerful thing in the universe. He can cast out demons and cure the sick. He can raise the dead and forgive our sins. We should forgive everyone and praise God. He is the King of Kings.
Today’s gospel is about how the apostles went out to preach, and bless people. Jesus gives them instructions, and when they do them, they end up doing miracles! With God, anything is possible. There may be something that we don’t believe we can do, but this gospel message just proves what if we trust in God, he will have a plan for us that will work out in the end.
The pope, bishops, and ordained priests all have been given authority by Christ to forgive sins, consecrate the Eucharist, anoint the sick and give them last rites, to Baptize in the name of the Trinity, to confirm the Holy Spirit in us, to witness a couple making wedding vows. It is so crazy to me that they can do all of this but they still sin. I sometimes forget that priests and all of them are still humans and have free will. I think it is awesome that God can trust us so much. He has given us so much grace.
Jesus is trying to tell us that he has passed down his authority to the Popes and Priests. Jesus set up the priest hood. He also is telling us to go preach the Gospel to the world.
In today’s gospel the lord sends out the apostles to deal with unclean spirits and that they will not bring much with them, If the house did not listen they were to shake the dust off their shoes in testimony against them. I think it was interesting that they were paired up and then sent to go preach and left with no money or food or drink. God will always provide and care for everyone. He is always there and is never going to leave your side.
In today’s Gospel we see the beginning of how we have priests now. Jesus gives the apostles the power over evil spirits and to preach repentance. With this the apostles then passed down the authority over the generations, until finally it is now at our current priests.
I feel like what Jesus is telling me today is that we shall not let our minds be corrupted by false news or bad things, all that needs to fill our minds is Jesus. we need to surround ourselves by good things and people that will help us be the best version of ourselves.
Toda, Jesus sent out the apostles to cast out demons, but they weren’t allowed to have any money, no sack, and no food. They couldn’t wear a second tunic, and had to wear sandals. The apostles preached to the people, casting out many evil spirirts, anointing sick people and curing them. This reminds me of when I make a bad decision and then God helps me through it all, we need to call out to God whenever we find ourselves in a situation.
What I got from this was that God is for real! He can cure us from all diseases. He really can cast miracles down and it is crazy! Those are reasons that have so much credibility. God is so pure and full of love and grace, he can do anything!!
Leaving with almost nothing takes courage. But they trusted and so should we that God always has out backs.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus sent out his Apostles to go cast out demons and anoint the sick. But could not bring money, food, sack but only a walking stick, sandals, and only one tunic. We can all be missionaries and help the people around us. Like Father Jarrod said on Tuesday, we can all heal people by putting our hands on them and asking God to heal them. God will always heal us because he loves us all.
in this Gospel jesus gives the apostles command over spirits and tell them to go out into the world with nothing but a cloak a walking and sandals. the apostles were to preach the gospel and to live off the generosity of others. in this day in age I do not think the apostles will last today people are far from God and people are hostile they are not as kind and forgiving as they once were. we have failed our mission we are to give to the poor however there are people dying everyday from sickness because they could not get treatment. this need to change we need to better ourselves and the world around us or we will all end up like the poor.:)
“He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick” The 12 relied on others for food, shelter and more. We can rely on God. God has a plan for all of us. God’s plan may be priesthood, marriage, fighting in war, missionary work, or really anything. In whatever we do though, we should keep God in our hearts like Fr. Kapaun and trust in him. Fr. Kapaun was about to die in war camps, but he trusted God and helped others, because of his incredible trust in God till his death, he changed many people’s lives.
I think in todays gospel Jesus is trying to tell us that He has a plan for us and we need to start trusting in Him. Jesus sent out his apostles to go clean uncleaned spirits. He told them to not take anything except a walking stick. They had no food and no money. They trusted Him and were able to do what He told them to do. I feel like we need to start trusting in Jesus more because He has a plan for us.
In today’s Gospel, the thing that stuck out to me was at the start Jesus gave the Twelve Apostles the power to drive out unclean spirits. “Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.” Mark 6:7 – 13
This shows the infinite power of God and Jesus.
What today scripture reflection said today what’s that no matter what we do or how bad it is God will always stand by our side.
God provides us with stuff we need. Also God will always stay by our side.
“So they went off and preached repentance.” This part of the gospel stuck out to me because it showed how they went out and preached and did as Jesus wanted them to. We should be going out spreading the gospel and spending time with Jesus.
The pope, bishops, and ordained priests all have been given authority by Christ to forgive sins, consecrate the Eucharist, anoint the sick and give them last rites, to Baptize in the name of the Trinity, to confirm the Holy Spirit in us, to witness a couple making wedding vows. The got permission because so they can help us get closer to God.
Today’s scripture reflection is about how Jesus has dominion over everything. He gave the 12 power over the demons so that way they could cast them out and save others through Jesus
In today’s Gospel, the thing that stuck out to me was at the start Jesus gave the Twelve Apostles the power to drive out unclean spirits. “Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.” I think that god is saying that even though we have free will, we need to use that free will for good of others and to praise god.
Today’s Gospel kind of reminds me of humility. Jesus told the twelve to go out with nothing, they were to be poor and look poor. They would have to beg and ask for help and for places to stay. But it was with this that they were given great power, through Jesus. He gave them the ability to drive out demons and convert others. So I feel like something we can take from that is that humility is not a weakness. In fact it’s pretty much the opposite. Humility gives you a kind quiet power that allows you to bring others and yourself closest to Christ.
Today’s Gospel is saying have faith because he told them to go without food or drink and to depend on other people for their food. That needs faith to do and they were able to do it and they cured many people. Have faith in the Lord and good things will happen.
We are called to take our time to become Holy. Filling ourselves with holy things is what we should be doing, but many people fall away by sinning. God gave priests and bishops the ability to forgive sin. We should try to trust in Jesus so that we can have eternal life with Him.
“Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day, allow Jesus’ teachings to transform you and change your perspective to ‘what is’, reality, or Truth. ” I fully agree with this and I feel as if us as a grade should pray more and be more open through God.
“Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day, allow Jesus’ teachings to transform you and change your perspective to ‘what is’, reality, or Truth.” I think God is trying to tell us that we need to follow Jesus’ example. Let Jesus’ teachings transform you. Keep an open mind and listen to God and you might be swayed.
“The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.” This part stuck out to me, because if Jesus gives us authority, he gives us the power to do some of the things he can do. In His name, all things are possible, and there is no challenge too great. If we strive to be like Jesus in all things, we can change the world.
I think God is telling us that we need to preach and spread the gospel. We can also ask for forgiveness because he will always love us no matter what we do.
Today Jesus gives us the power to preach the word to others. Jesus has the power to pass on the gift of healing to his children. We must show other people The Way, The Truth, and The Life. it is our job to help other people get to heaven, we must be good examples to others and show them love no matter what. We must do whatever he tells us to do and give up everything to him.
I think that the gospel is trying to tell us is that healing is God answering our prayers. Like father Jarrod said “healing is God answering our prayers,” we should pray to God about our health and our concerns. Even if there is nothing wrong with us we should still do it because God loves us. He loves our voice, and our thought and ideas, God loves everything about us. So we should talk to him whether its just a simple conversation or asking him to do us a favor. We need to talk to God because of his love for us and that he made us.
“Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two
and gave them authority over unclean spirits.” This stuck out to me because Jesus gave them the authority over unclean spirits. They all drove out many demons. Jesus protects us from the demons. Jesus loves us and cares about us.
Jesus sent out the 12 to clean the unclean spirits. Today, Jesus gives priests, bishops, the Pope the authority to help us be clean. They consecrate the Eucharist, forgive sins, anoint the sick, they are doing what Jesus would do and are helping us be the best version of ourselves so that we can get to heaven.
“They drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.” Today we hear more about the healing power of Jesus. He can do so much more than we can even fathom so it is really important to ask for his help, because anything is possible with God.
Jesus sent the apostles out to drive out demons, and they were to take nothing, but the clothes on their backs, and they did. They had faith that God would provide for them. And because of this complete faith in God they were able to drive out demons in His name. That is complete and total faith and is what we should strive for in our lives.
What I get from this Gospel is Jesus had power. The Gospel talks about how the 12 disciples were instructed by Jesus to go out to drive out demons and anoint the sick. And it shows that Jesus has true power. It reminds me of Fr. Jarod’s homily about his elbow hurting and it being healed by another priest. At first Father didn’t believe it but 2 weeks later it healed. God can work with us but we have to follow through.
God is always watching us. he never left Jesus, he never left the saints that worked tirelessly to serve him, and he will never leave us.
we are his children believers and nonbelievers.
he has always been watching over us it may not seem like it but he is.
Jesus told the apostles to go and cast out demons, and they did. Today priests do the same by trying to help people turn away from their bad habits and turn to God. We have to do the same and follow God’s path, that is the only way we can get to heaven.
What I got out of today’s scripture is that God will be with us no matter how bad life gets. We will live a much happier life if we live for God. God is pointing us in the right direction but sometimes we don’t go and follow him. We need to start living for God a we will have a much better life. God will always be with us no matter what we do he will always be there but sometimes we don’t do the right thing that he wants us to do. But no matter how hard life gets we will always have God to be with us. We just need to start living for him.
In today’s Scripture Jesus is trying to tell to go out and preach and help all people. He also says to me that I must trust in him on the way throughout life.Also, help to trust the correct people on the journey of life.
I think he is trying to tell me that he is always watching us and he will still love us no matter what
In todays gospel Jesus is sending the apostles to evangelize the world.In the same way Jesus calls us to be missionaries or evangelists and spread the good news.Bring God everywhere.
In today’s gospel God Teaches the apostles and they cast out demons we all have to have strong faith in God and spread his word just like the apostles he is always teaching all of us to be the best we can be
God is telling me that no matter what point your in, in your life Jesus can always heal you and he’s there for you.
Today Jesus tells me that we need nothing but him. If we have him then we have all we need. Jesus also tells me that you cannot force Jesus apon anyone.
What stuck out to me is when it talked about taking time and filling your mind with holy things each day. It’s easy for us to just do whatever society is telling us to do. But God tells us to allow Jesus’ teachings to transform you and that it requires faith and an open heart.
in today’s Gospel Jesus is telling us to go out and rule
the world because he gave us our own free will by
dying on the cross and to go out and spread the gospel.
I think what God is trying to tell us here today is to be missionaries and be wary of the devil tricking you. In today’s Gospel, Jesus sent out the Apostles to help unclean souls by driving out demons or healing the sick. However, Jesus warned them to be mindful of the devil tricking them. When Jesus told them to leave the unwelcoming houses and shake the dust off their feet, that hints at the devil and sin. So, they left the devil and sin and shook off the dust of them. They also trusted Jesus in travelling to help others. We should trust Jesus in our vocations, because God knows our plan for our salvation.
The Holy Spirit is telling me through this scripture passage that Jesus calls us to do what he did and bring people to God.
“the Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil who were sick and cured them”, I think this shows that people who are Priests can cure people who are very ill. Just like how Jesus sent the Apostles out to go do that. Both were called by God to go out and do stuff like that, cure people.
Something that stood out to me was that This authority was passed down to bishops and priests who are still preaching repentance, casting out demons, and curing the sick and the pope, bishops, and ordained priests all have been given authority by Christ to forgive sins, consecrate the Eucharist, anoint the sick and give them last rites, to Baptize in the name of the Trinity.
what I think God is trying to tell me is that not all the houses I go to will listen to me or believe me but when I go and visit him at his home Jesus will listen to me and believe me and care for me and every other person here.
I think what God is trying to tell me is that Jesus and His Apostles help us get to Heaven. They give us oil and heal the sick. God wants us to be with Him in Heaven and Jesus and His Apostles help us understand what we need to be with Them in Heaven.
In the Gospel today its says that Jesus gave the 12 Apostles the power to cast out demons and heal people in need. God can give that power to anyone.He has given the same power to priest and even normal people. You don’t have to be a saint to receive it. You just have to believe that God can work great things through you.
“Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day”. Jesus is telling us that we can have fun in life but we need to make sure we are still making time for him. This is as simple as just reading your Bible or praying in other ways.
In today’s scripture it is saying anything with God is possible. That if you believe in words and in his plan for us here on Earth and up in heaven, anything can happen. That really stuck out to me because God’s words are our plan and plan to make it to heaven to have eternal life with Jesus up in heaven. Also, In today’s Gospel it is talking about how our plan here is to be missionaries in Christ. To teach and to preach to other people. The 12 apostles could be missionaries. A part that really stuck out to me was that God gave the 12 the power to heal and cast out demons. We should thank God everyday for what is waiting for us, our plan, his plan for us here on this holy ground. Have a Good rest of your day! God loves you! God bless!!
From todays gosel i feel like God was trying to tell me he gave us free will for a reason so we need to taek our free will and help ourselves get to heaven.
The message I got from the gospel today is that we need to constantly stay away from sin and instead fill our mind and hearts with things that are holy. It also said that with God, anything is possible. I think that as long as we stay in the presence of God then we will be saved.
this stood out to me “Take time to fill your mind with good and holy things each day, allow Jesus’ teachings to transform you and change your perspective to ‘what is’, reality, or Truth.”
Today’s scripture reflections talks about Making good choices life,do holy things in life, and live the way God would want you to, and would want your holy goal Which is to get to heaven,and spend eternal life with him.
In this Gospel, Jesus told his disciples to not bring any of their valuables and only a staff. I think that he was trying to show them what they needed to do to get to heaven. He was showing them how to be disciplined, so that they could go to heaven. We need to be disciplined too.
“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.” I think this is talking about the crucifixion because Jesus died and rose the third day.
