“To the penitent God provides a way back,
he encourages those who are losing hope
and has chosen for them the lot of truth.
Return to him and give up sin,
pray to the LORD and make your offenses few.
Turn again to the Most High and away from your sin,
hate intensely what he loathes,
and know the justice and judgments of God,
Stand firm in the way set before you,
in prayer to the Most High God. …”

“… Jesus urges His Disciples to trust in the Providence of the heavenly Father … ‘Therefore do not be anxious, saying “what shall we eat?” or “what shall we wear?”. For the Gentiles seek all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all”. … the Lord wants to make people understand clearly that it is impossible to serve two masters: God and mammon [riches]. Whoever believes in God, the Father full of love for his children, puts first the search for His Kingdom and His Will. …”

“It is not possible to serve #God and mammon … someone who lives in the glory of earth cannot rule with #Christ …. Therefore you have cast aside your garments, that is, earthly riches, so that instead of being overcome by the one fighting against you, you will be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven through the straight path and the narrow gate ….”

We are anxious mostly about how we will meet our material needs—for food and drink; for clothing; for security for tomorrow. … It is a question of priorities and goals. What are we living for? Where is #God in our lives? Jesus insists that we need only to have faith in God and to trust in his Providence. …”

CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: #Catholic #Mass Readings: Friday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time 2.24.17 – USCCB/NABRV

Bible, Catholic, Catholic Faith, Faith Links, Headlines, Holy Scripture
Historic Bible

Jesus told them …
“… 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.'”

“… 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 if 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. …”
