On Today’s Gospel…

Are we not able to see the good in others? Do we need to find fault just to prove something?

Do we try everyday to be more loving at home? Showing respect for one another? Respecting one another? Respecting the privacy and little treasures of our family members? Always willing to serve before being served? Trying at all costs to maintain the peace at home?

Do we understand what it entails to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit? To blaspheme against the Holy Trinity? To remain unrepentant?  Impenitent? To say why bother when God cannot forgive me?

Let us cry out to the Lord our God, “Teach me your paths, my God, make me walk in your truth.” Amen

GOSPEL
Mark 3:22–30

22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Be-elzebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23 And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.
28 “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
