Let us pay homage to our Lord and King! Who conquered sin and death so that we may live. Many will mock us and think us weak by our faith and love for Jesus. They will witness His power for He is with us.

Let us stand United sisters and brothers in all we say and do for our Lord. Let us embrace our differences for we all have been given different gifts and talents and together we build what is larger than ourselves put together; our Holy Church, His Kingdom.

No evil shall overcome us, for the Lord is with us. Amen

FIRST READING
2 Samuel 5:1–7, 10

GOSPEL
Mark 3:22–30

The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said of Jesus, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “By the prince of demons he drives out demons.”

Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him. But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house. Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin.” For they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
