Today's Topics: 1) Matthew Arnold joins Terry Gospel - LK 7:36-50 - A certain Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table. Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that He was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, she stood behind Him at His Feet weeping and began to bathe His Feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment. When the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this he said to himself, “If this Man were a prophet, He would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said. “Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days’ wages and the other owed fifty. Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?” Simon said in reply, “The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.” He said to him, “You have judged rightly.” Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My Feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give Me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing My Feet since the time I entered. You did not anoint My Head with oil, but she anointed My Feet with ointment. So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.” He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The others at table said to themselves, “Who is This Who even forgives sins?” But He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Memorial of Saint Januarius, Bishop and Martyr Saint Januarius, pray for us!

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 7:31-35 - Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.’ For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, ‘Look, He is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) Pope Francis doubles down, says "diversity of religious identities is a gift of God" https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-pope-francis-diversity-of-religious-identities-is-a-gift-of-god/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=catholic 3) Surprising truth about the Mass: Jesus taught the Apostles the Roman Canon https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/surprising-truth-about-the-mass-jesus-taught-the-apostles-the-roman-canon/?utm_source=most_recent&utm_campaign=catholic 4) CCC 2477-2513, The Eighth Commandment: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, continued

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - Lk 7:1-10 - When Jesus had finished all His words to the people, He entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and save the life of his slave. They approached Jesus and strongly urged Him to come, saying, "He deserves to have You do this for him, for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us." And Jesus went with them, but when He was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell Him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have You enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to You; but say the word and let my servant be healed. For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come here, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it." When Jesus heard this He was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following Him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 6:39-42  - Jesus told His disciples a parable: "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,' when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite!  Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother's eye."
