Jeremiah Chooses to Remain in Judah

1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had released him from Ramah, when he was bound in chains, along with all the exiles from Jerusalem and Judah who were being taken into exile in Babylon.

2 The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and told him, “The LORD your God has predicted this disaster on this place. 3 And now the LORD has brought it about and has done just as he said. Because you people sinned against the LORD and didn’t obey him, this has happened to you. 4 Now, look, I’ve freed you today from the chains that were on your hands. If you want to come with me to Babylon, come, and I’ll look after you. But if you don’t want to come with me to Babylon, don’t. Look, the whole land lies before you, so go wherever it seems good and right for you to go.”

5 When he still did not respond, Nebuzaradan said, “Return to Ahikam’s son Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and remain with him among the people—or go wherever it seems right for you to go.” Then the captain of the guard gave him an allowance of food and a gift and sent him off. 6 Jeremiah came to Ahikam’s son Gedaliah at Mizpah, and he remained with him among the people who were left in the land.

Gedaliah and the Community in Judah

7 All the leaders of the forces who were in the field along with their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Ahikam’s son Gedaliah over the men, women, children, and the poor of the land who had not been taken into exile in Babylon. 8 Those who came to Gedaliah at Mizpah included Nethaniah’s son Ishmael, Jonathan, Kareah’s son Jonathan, Tanhumeth’s son Seraiah, Ephai’s sons from Netophah; and Jezaniah, the son of a man from Maacah. They came along with their men.

9 Ahikam’s son Gedaliah, the grandson of Shaphan, swore an oath to them and their men: “Don’t be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and things will go well for you. 10 As for me, I’ll remain at Mizpah to represent you before the Chaldeans who come to us. As for you, gather wine, summer fruit, and oil. Put it in your containers and live in your cities that you have taken over.”

11 All the Judeans who were in Moab, those with the people in Ammon, those in Edom, and those in all the other countries also heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant for Judah and that he had appointed Ahikam’s son Gedaliah, the grandson of Shaphan, over them. 12 So all the Judeans returned from all the countries where they had been scattered. They came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and they gathered wine and summer fruit in great abundance.

A Plot against Gedaliah

13 Kareah’s son Jonathan and all leaders of the forces who were in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah. 14 They told him, “Are you aware that Baalis, the king of the people of Ammon, has sent Nethaniah’s son Ishmael to take your life?” But Ahikam’s son Gedaliah did not believe them.

15 Then Kareah’s son Jonathan spoke privately to Gedaliah at Mizpah: “Let me go kill Nethaniah’s son Ishmael, and no one will know. Why should he take your life? Otherwise all the Judeans who have gathered around you will be scattered, and the remnant of Judah will perish.”

16 Ahikam’s son Gedaliah replied to Kareah’s son Jonathan, “Don’t do this!

Friday, Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time

Saint Joseph of Calasanz, Priest.

Friday, Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time

(Liturgical Colour: Green: A (1))

First Reading Ruth 1:1, 3-6, 14b-16, 22 Naomi returned with the Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth, to Bethlehem.

Once in the time of the judges there was a famine in the land; so a man from Bethlehem of Judah departed with his wife and two sons to reside on the plateau of Moab. Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons, who married Moabite women, one named Orpah, the other Ruth. When they had lived there about ten years, both Mahlon and Chilion died also, and the woman was left with neither her two sons nor her husband. She then made ready to go back from the plateau of Moab because word reached her there that the LORD had visited his people and given them food. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye, but Ruth stayed with her. Naomi said, “See now! Your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her god. Go back after your sister-in-law!” But Ruth said, “Do not ask me to abandon or forsake you! For wherever you go, I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge, your people shall be my people, and your God my God.”

Thus it was that Naomi returned with the Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth, who accompanied her back from the plateau of Moab. They arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 146:5-6ab, 6c-7, 8-9a, 9bc-10

R/ Praise the Lord, my soul!

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD, his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them.

R/ Praise the Lord, my soul!

The LORD keeps faith forever, secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets captives free.

R/ Praise the Lord, my soul!

The LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those who were bowed down; The LORD loves the just. The LORD protects strangers.

R/ Praise the Lord, my soul!

The fatherless and the widow he sustains, but the way of the wicked he thwarts. The LORD shall reign forever; your God, O Zion, through all generations. Alleluia.

R/ Praise the Lord, my soul!

Gospel Acclamation Psalm 25:4b, 5a

Alleluia, alleluia. Teach me your paths, my God, guide me in your truth. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Matthew 22:34-40 You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law, tested him by asking, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

(Readings for the memorial)

(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Friday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)

First Reading Isaiah 58:6-11 Share your bread with the hungry.

Thus says the LORD:

This is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.

Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; Your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday; Then the LORD will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Either:

First Reading 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13 Love never fails.

Brothers and sisters: Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts. But I shall show you a still more excellent way.

If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, love is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Or:

First Reading 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 Love never fails.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11

R/ I will bless the Lord at all times. or R/ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall be ever in my mouth. Let my soul glory in the LORD; the lowly will hear me and be glad.

R/ I will bless the Lord at all times. or R/ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Glorify the LORD with me, let us together extol his name. I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

R/ I will bless the Lord at all times. or R/ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Look to him that you may be radiant with joy, and your faces may not blush with shame. When the poor one called out, the LORD heard, and from all his distress he saved him.

R/ I will bless the Lord at all times. or R/ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Taste and see how good the LORD is; blessed the man who takes refuge in him.

R/ I will bless the Lord at all times. or R/ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for nought is lacking to those who fear him. The great grow poor and hungry; but those who seek the LORD want for no good thing.

R/ I will bless the Lord at all times. or R/ Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

Gospel Acclamation John 15:9b, 5b

Alleluia, alleluia. Remain in my love, says the Lord; whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Matthew 18:1-5 Unless you become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.

The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.”

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

The Book of the Wars of the Lord (Hebrew: סֵפֶר מִלְחֲמֹת יהוה) is one of several non-canonical books referenced in the Bible which have now been completely lost.[1] It is mentioned in Numbers 21:13-14, which reads:

"From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the desert and bounding the Amorite territory. For Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. That is why the Book of the Wars of the LORD says: '... Waheb in Suphah and the ravines of Arnon, and at the stream of the ravines that lead to the dwelling of Ar, which lies along the border of Moab.'"[2]

David Rosenberg suggests in The Book of David that it was written in 1100 BC or thereabouts.

The way it is mentioned in Scripture would indicate that it was somewhat well-known or accessible to the people of ancient Israel.

They Watch Us From The Moon Drop Far-Out Single Ahead of New LP

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

For some time now, I've been starting my mornings with heavy riffs and old comic books from The Golden Age. Tales from the Crypt, Mystical Tales, Mystery Tales, Tales of the Unexpected, and (my most recent find) Strange Tales of the Unusual. There's just something about the simplicity, sincerity, and wisdom of those old anthology stories that puts me in a good mood.

A band suited for the same spirit of adventure is THEY WATCH US FROM THE MOON. Like Clark Kent's humble origins in Kansas farmland, this six-piece wonder hails from Lawrence, KS, founded in 2018.

Their sound, rooted in the Black Sabbath tradition, is tinged with the surprising and otherworldly. For various songs male and female voices unify or sing interchangeably, whilst instruments weave together dreamy doom metal with blues-hued stoner and space rock, making them a veritable chorus of doom.

When we last left They Watch Us From The Moon, they had just released the magical track "Return To Earth". Now, as we continue with our adventures with the spaced-out crew, we find them reaching a new juncture: "MOAB."

"Mother Of All Bastards" was written as a reflection of that in our times. The lyrical imagery paints a very dower picture of a future yet to come and our inability to stop it. Alien abduction, bases on the Moon, and all things Sci-Fi weave through the entire album. As with all science fiction, the story leads into a conversation about what path of destruction humans put themselves on to arrive to the future in such a fantastical way.

It's one of my favorite tracks so far from the They Watch Us From The Moon, beginning with that gorgeous, soulful low-end riff that accompanies earnest angelic harmonies. This six-member powerhouse, now in year 5 as a band, absolutely needs to be seen on stages around the world.

"MOAB" is track three on the upcoming full-length album, 'Cosmic Chronicles: Act 1, The Ascension' (2023), which releases May 12th on New Heavy Sounds (pre-order here). Stick this on a playlist with Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, MWWB, Church of the Cosmic Skull, and Old Blood.

Give ear...

New Heavy Sounds · They Watch Us From The Moon: MOAB

SOME BUZZ

Hailing from Kansas, They Watch Us From The Moon have landed to present their first magnum opus Cosmic Chronicles: Act 1, The Ascension will release via New Heavy Sounds on May 12th, 2023.

TWUFTM are a band that has a concept behind the groove. Sci-fi space opera, a love for Bowie and Queen, brought to the fore visually, in their mashing of comic book narratives and Funkadelic style alter ego’s. TWUFTM is truly an immersive experience on every level. Cosmic Chronicles: Act 1, The Ascension is a space opera for heavy psych doommers and shoegazers alike. This is something new within heavy psychedelics, in fact it’s something new anywhere.

"On The Fields Of The Moon" is like fresh oxygen in bright sunlight - chiming lead guitars and angelic twin vocals (almost like Fleetwood Mac … imagine that) melodies draw you in like gravity itself. Complete with a space-bound chorus and a ripping guitar only 250 seconds into our flight. It sets the tone perfectly. "Space Angel" is literally that. The band's angels Luna and Nova are simply mesmerising, weaving through the heaviest of space-kraut riff grooves.

With "MOAB", the mood is darkening. 'Days of destruction, days of disease' is a warning for our times. The pace has slowed, it’s black and doom laden, yet our vocal angels still give us reason for optimism. And there, fellow travelers, we suggest that you take a moment to take in what you’ve just heard, and imbibe whatever is your drug of choice before tackling the final two ten-minute space flights. "Creeper AD" is a psychedelic trip to lose yourself in. Shifting chord progressions, cool guitar breaks and again, those vocal harmonies, entwined and bewitching. "Return To Earth" does just that, and is pretty much the summation of what we have experienced. An epic, gorgeous space symphony.

Cosmic Chronicles contains five immense tracks chock full of weight and brimming with melody. Clocking in at around 44 minutes, Cosmic Chronicles: Act 1, The Ascension never outstays its welcome. In our opinion, it’s an almost frighteningly impressive, opening offering. Welcome to the (other) world of They Watch It From The Moon. Watch the skies.

2 Kings 1: 1-8. "The Upper Room."

The First Book of Kings concludes after 22 Chapters. The Gematria calls this sha'uar, a "port", but also "something horrible, swept away by the storm." The story ends with a bad man, Ahab, and his relative, Ahaziah, one long-lived, the other not, being swept away by corruption and delusion.

The text provides us with a few good eggs, the best egg being Jehoshaphat, "Who Governs in God's Name." A brave adventurer and meditator, Jehoshaphat was also blown out to sea but instead of notoriety, he found the far shore of Judaism, shipwrecked himself there, and did not return.

This is what it means to be a Jewish Royal; to know without a doubt though one appears to be physically bound here, the truth is stranded on the distant shore of Ha Shem.

Ha Shem, the storm of old who sweeps away the wicked and the righteous alike is verily the wind the sea, and the dry land on the other side.

Here begins The Second Book of the Melachim.

The Lord’s Judgment on Ahaziah

1 After Ahab’s death, Moab rebelled against Israel.

2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury.”

3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’

4 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’” So Elijah went.

The Upper Room is the space in which one attains to Ezion Geber, the distant shore along the Black Sea along which the God of Israel performs His Daily Promenade.

Ahaziah, "who grasps" was not able to let go of his habits for extroversion and he fell through the lattice work, the scriptures which explain how and why this is done.

As we have learned a real Jew understands how to view the world external to Ha Shem, "complete understanding of existence" and His own internal logic. The lattice work supports the sojourn but it cannot in any way be trusted to convey us to the end on its own.

MOAB "the father's ways" are the biggest cause of failure of the lattice work. The Torah and the Tanakh, its supporting documents, explain, the way a river bed explains to a river, how mankind follows a natural state of evolution from birth onward.

As in Eden, parents are supposed to say no much more than they say yes to a child until he reaches the Age of Reason.

During this time, we are supposed to force teenagers to resort to the Instructions contained in the Torah in order to cement the ethics behind certain rules and expectations that are placed on small kids. The result is the creation of an entity that can think, feel, reason, and perform like an adult who does not indulge in sin.

MOAB suggests the Torah and Gospels were given to Moses and Saint Mark for different reasons; reasons we concocted to suit our own purposes instead of the achievement of adulthood after the onset of fertility.

Just look at this world as a result of its decision to choose "tradition", instead of Torah. The Torah says "do not murder, do not steal, do not covet, do not lie, do not profane, do not idolize others..." and has tasked the King of Israel and the Line of Succession to ensure the lines between these and tradition do not become blurred. But blurry they are. The persons in control of this planet observe them not at all and we have found other ways, Moab, to be religious that are not working.

When this happens, especially the King of Israel, why would anyone believe in the God of Israel? Or especially when so many imperfect, devious and disgusting men who claim to believe in Him are destroying everything in their point of view?

Let us review the opening verses of 2 Kings and see how this happens to us:

v. 1: 1089, יח‎ט‎, "a private." To insulate ourselves from tradition, we need to achieve excellence with the scriptures on our own. The ship to the far shore is a one seater.

v. 2: Baal-Zebub of Ekron, "The god on the ground who resides in a high house and brings ruin." Ahaziah clearly thinks boys, bumps, and boogie are going to make him feel better about his unbelief.

The Number is 10101, yamka, "that which lives between the sea and the day."

The Seventh Day of Pesach commemorates the Splitting of the Red Sea, the climax of the Exodus from Egypt. Until “Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore,”1 they remained in dread of Egypt’s military might; some were even prepared to submit to slavery again rather than risk death.2 After the Splitting of the Sea, however, all fear of danger ended and they experienced true freedom.

Our Sages consider these two events, the Exodus from Egypt and the Splitting of the Red Sea, to be of such fundamental importance that they require us to recall them every day.3 This obligation indicates that they are not simply incidents in history. Instead, the Exodus from Egypt and the Splitting of the Red Sea reflect two continually relevant stages in our service of G‑d.

Leaving Egypt means transcending our limitations and ceasing to be slaves by identifying ourselves as servants of G‑d.4 The Exodus from Egypt was not complete, however, until the Splitting of the Red Sea. By the same token, on a personal level, each individual’s experience of leaving Egypt is incomplete without the spiritual parallel to the Splitting of the Red Sea.

The commitment to leave Egypt, to transcend the limits of our individual selves, often poses a problem, for even those who are firmly committed to Torah practice experience the material world as their frame of reference. Mitzrayim, symbol of the limitations of our worldly existence, determines their world-view.

It is our false belief the world cannot be changed that keeps us trapped on this side of the Sea, and we are trying to reach the far side. The Torah requires us to commit to overcoming the habits that have made this world come apart and move forward as it has dictated.

We cannot turn to false aerial gods like Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin, both who have turned themselves into gods and expect this to happen.

v. 3: God tells Elijah "the returning homesteader" to reinstate His Presence. The Value is 6985, בט‎חה, "trustfulness."

Who do you trust? A pedophile crackwhore and his followers, a madman who hates everyone and everything, or God Himself?

v. 4: 10553, יההג‎, yehg, "to see through the illusions."

ye=

here are two different roots עין ('ayin), or so it seems. HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament and BDB Theological Dictionary both state that the connection between עין ('ayin) meaning eye and עין ('ayin) meaning spring or fountain is uncertain, and perhaps that is true from an etymological perspective. In practice it's no real miracle that these two words (may have) evolved into the same form since both an eye and a fountain produce water.

The noun עין ('ayin), meaning eye, produces the verb עין ('in), meaning to eye (1 Samuel 18:9).

The identical noun עין ('ayin), now meaning spring or fountain, produces the noun מעין (ma'yan), also meaning spring. HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament submits that by the word עין ('ayin) more than just the eye itself is implied. "Occasionally it represents the whole process of seeing [ . . . ] of understanding and obedience. [ . . . ] The eye is used to express knowledge, character, attitude, inclination, opinion, passion and response".

hg= Hermes. The verb ερμηνευω (hermeneuo) means to interpret, explain or translate, and emphasizes the crossing of borders (i.e. between language areas or schools of thought). It's obviously related to hermeneutics, or the branch of knowledge that deals with theories of interpretation.

Elijah, the Presence of God attempts to fill the vacuum created by idolatry, the idea that a man supplant the realities asserted by God and nature and make them after his own image instead of the other way around. This process turns God into a graven image, a vile thing that causes dread when in reality He is Ha Shem and cannot be modified by the nonsense of man.

To attempt to locate Ha Shem using the direction finders in the scripture is what is meant by the use of messengers:

5 When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”

6 “A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”

7 The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”

8 They replied, “He had a garment of hair[a] and had a leather belt around his waist.”

The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”

To end the practices of idolatry, one must acknowledge Elijah, the Homesteader. He is found within flesh and blood and conquered animal man, the leather garter found around his waist.

Our failure to recognize the Presence of God by practicing wickedness is why the world is sprinting into darkness. This is what is meant by "you will not leave the bed you are lying on."

The man that gets up, the truly religious one will be the one that lives on. His Number is 5690, ה‎וטאֶפֶס‎, tapes "the man whose words sit between the heaven and the earth."*

*From Ta, ata, also et, comes from Bereshit, "the writing explains right to left the heavens and the earth" aka "the latticework."

Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, the headland of Pisgah which faces Jericho, and the LORD showed him all the land— Gilead, and as far as Dan, all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, the Negeb, the circuit of the Jordan with the lowlands at Jericho, city of palms, and as far as Zoar. The LORD then said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants. I have let you feast your eyes upon it, but you shall not cross over.” So there, in the land of Moab, Moses, the servant of the LORD, died as the LORD had said; and he was buried in the ravine opposite Beth-peor in the land of Moab, but to this day no one knows the place of his burial. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated. For thirty days the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab, till they had completed the period of grief and mourning for Moses.Now Joshua, son of Nun, was filled with the spirit of wisdom, since Moses had laid his hands upon him; and so the children of Israel gave him their obedience, thus carrying out the LORD’s command to Moses.Since then no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face. He had no equal in all the signs and wonders the LORD sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh and all his servants and against all his land, and for the might and the terrifying power that Moses exhibited in the sight of all Israel.

Responsorial Psalm

PS 66:1-3A, 5 AND 8, 16-17

R./ Blessed be God who filled my soul with fire!

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; sing praise to the glory of his name; proclaim his glorious praise. Say to God: “How tremendous are your deeds!” R./ Blessed be God who filled my soul with fire!

Come and see the works of God, his tremendous deeds among the children of Adam. Bless our God, you peoples; loudly sound his praise. R./ Blessed be God who filled my soul with fire!

Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare what he has done for me. When I appealed to him in words, praise was on the tip of my tongue. R./ Blessed be God who filled my soul with fire!

Gospel

MT 18:15-20

Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell the Church. If he refuses to listen even to the Church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Jordan Backpacks

Jordan, a young but ancient state, occupies an area that has played a prominent role in many of the world’s great civilizations. The ancient kingdoms of Moab, Gilead and Edom lie within its borders, along with the famed red stone city of Petra.

18Then Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, “Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more. 19Now therefore, please, you also stay here tonight, that I may know what more the Lord will say to me.”

20And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men come to call you, rise and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you—that you shall do.” 21So Balaam rose in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.

Balaam, the Donkey, and the Angel

22Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the Lord took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 23Now the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road. 24Then the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side. 25And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again. 26Then the Angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff.

28Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

29And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have [e]abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!”

30So the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever [f]disposed to do this to you?”

And he said, “No.”

31Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face. 32And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out [g]to stand against you, because your way is perverse[h] before Me. 33The donkey saw Me and turned aside from Me these three times. If she had not turned aside from Me, surely I would also have killed you by now, and let her live.”

34And Balaam said to the Angel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know You stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it [i]displeases You, I will turn back.”

35Then the Angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but only the word that I speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

36Now when Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the border at the Arnon, the boundary of the territory. 37Then Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not earnestly send to you, calling for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”

38And Balaam said to Balak, “Look, I have come to you! Now, have I any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak.” 39So Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath Huzoth. 40Then Balak offered oxen and sheep, and he sent some to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.

1 Holy Spirit, truth divine, dawn upon this soul of mine; Word of God, and inward light, wake my spirit, clear my sight.

2 Holy Spirit, love divine, glow within this heart of mine; kindle every high desire, perish self in your pure fire.

3 Holy Spirit, power divine, fill and nerve this will of mine; by you may I strongly live, bravely bear, and nobly strive.

4 Holy Spirit, right divine, King within my conscience reign; be my law, and I shall be firmly bound, for ever free.

5 Holy Spirit, peace divine, still this restless soul of mine; speak to calm this tossing sea, stayed in your tranquillity.

6 Holy Spirit, joy divine, gladden now this heart of mine; in the desert ways I sing. 'Spring, O well, for ever spring!'

Verse: judges 3 Write/ Copy Gods words :

3 (A)Now these are the nations that the Lord left, to test Israel by them, that is, all in Israel who had not experienced all the wars in Canaan. 2 It was only in order that the generations of the people of Israel might know war, to teach war to those who had not known it before. 3 These are the nations: (B)the five lords of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as Lebo-hamath. 4 They were for (C)the testing of Israel, to know whether Israel would obey the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. 5 So the people of Israel lived (D)among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 6 (E)And their daughters they took to themselves for wives, and their own daughters they gave to their sons, and they served their gods. Othniel 7 (F)And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and (G)the Asheroth. 8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, (H)and he sold them into the hand of (I)Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia. And the people of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. 9 But when the people of Israel (J)cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a (K)deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them, (L)Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 10 (M)The Spirit of the Lord was upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord gave Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. And his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim. 11 (N)So the land had rest forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died. Ehud 12 (O)And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord strengthened Eglon (P)the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. 13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the (Q)Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel. And they took possession of (R)the city of palms. 14 And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 15 Then the people of Israel (S)cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up for them (T)a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, (U)a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. 16 And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit[a] in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his clothes. 17 And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. 18 And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. 19 But he himself turned back (V)at the idols near Gilgal and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he commanded, “Silence.” And all his attendants went out from his presence. 20 And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his (W)cool roof chamber. (X)And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And he arose from his seat. 21 And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 22 And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. 23 Then Ehud went out into the porch[b] and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him (Y)and locked them. 24 When he had gone, the servants came, and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, (Z)“Surely he is relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber.” 25 And they waited till they were embarrassed. But when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them, and there lay their lord dead on the floor. 26 Ehud escaped while they delayed, and he passed beyond (AA)the idols and escaped to Seirah. 27 When he arrived, (AB)he sounded the trumpet in (AC)the hill country of Ephraim. Then the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was their leader. 28 And he said to them, “Follow after me, (AD)for the Lord has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they went down after him and seized (AE)the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites and did not allow anyone to pass over. 29 And they killed at that time about 10,000 of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; not a man escaped. 30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. (AF)And the land had rest for eighty years. Shamgar 31 After him was (AG)Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed 600 of the Philistines (AH)with an oxgoad, and he also (AI)saved Israel.

What is your Favorite verse(s):

24 When he had gone, the servants came, and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, (Z)“Surely he is relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber.” 25 And they waited till they were embarrassed. But when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them, and there lay their lord dead on the floor.

Explain in your own words what you just read:

God left these Canaanite nations behind because Israel was not faithful in driving them out. One might rightly say that it was a combination of both their choice and God’s will.

Commitment / what will i do : I will would remain because God wanted to prove the faithfulness of Israel to Himself, and to improve their reliance on Him.

Jesus told his disciples this parable: “A man who was going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one – to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five. Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the one who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money. After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.’ His master said to him in reply, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter? Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return? Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten. For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth!’”

The Gospel of the Lord

R/Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

#DailyDevotion Sometimes God's People Are A Bad Example Not To Follow

#DailyDevotion Sometimes God's People Are A Bad Example Not To Follow 1 Cor. 10:6-13 6Now, this happened in order to warn us not to long for what is evil as they did. 7Don't worship idols as some of them did, as the Bible says: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to play.” 8Let us not sin sexually as some of them did — 23,000 died on one day. 9Let us not go too far in testing the Lord's patience as some of them did — the snakes killed them. 10Don't complain as some of them did - the angel of death killed them. 11These things happened to them to make them a lesson to others and were written down to warn us who are living when the world is coming to an end. Sometime we may wonder why do we still use the Old Testament if we are New Testament people. We, after all, are not bound by the covenant God made with Israel on Mt. Sinai. Well the obvious thing is Moses and the prophets point us to Jesus as the Savior of the World. We reference it when we show how Jesus of Nazareth fulfills the prophecies concerning the Messiah. Secondly we have this from St. Paul, the people of the Old Testament are to served as an example of the LORD and his people as we are now his people in baptism. Having been rescued from the hands of Egyptians and having heard the LORD speak from the mountain his commandments what is the first thing they do? They get impatient waiting for Moses and make an idol of YHWH, two golden calves and worship with eating, drinking and playing. They sinned sexually with the daughters of Moab and worshiped their gods. The LORD killed 23,000 of them in one day. The Israelites complained about the food the LORD provided for them and snakes killed them. When the Israelites got to the Promised Land they did not believe the LORD would give those people into their hands but rather the LORD was going to let those people kill them and their children. They were going to chose another leader and go back to Egypt. Moses had to intercede for them before the angel of death killed them all. So what lesson are we to learn from all these bad examples? Don't be like them. All these acts of destruction prophecy the judgment of God's people at the end of the world. The judgment against the nations in the Promised Land are a prophecy against the nations of the world. Just as the LORD promised the land of Canaan to Abraham's descendants through Isaac and Jacob, he has promised the world to all who put their trust in Christ Jesus. Having been delivered from the world we should not seek to be entangled in it once again. Because of our weakened flesh we may still sin, but we must hate it. We may still fall into gross sins, but we must repent of them. With the Holy Spirit dwelling in our bodies let us not hand the members of our bodies which is the temple of God back into slavery of sin and fear of death. Let us not adopt the ways of the world not only sinning but approving of those who do. We should not have the facade of having Christ name and use his name to promote sinfulness. We are taught here not to grumble against what the LORD has given us. We should not fear the world and what they could do to us. We should not be enticed by the pleasures of the flesh and forget whose body our bodies belong to. Jesus Christ has bought us with his blood. We are not our own anymore, thanks be to God! He has redeemed us from sin and death. He has delivered us our old taskmaster the devil. Judgment begins with the house of God. Let us be found trusting in Christ alone, repenting of our sins, confessing our unworthiness and living God's life. Heavenly Father, give us your Spirit that we may look upon the bad examples of your people, learn our lesson from them and put our trust in Christ Jesus alone for our life and salvation. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Read the full article

Festivals and Vows - Numbers 28-30

Hello again. It's been a few months since I last posted. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been busy with other things in life recently. I felt motivated to do another post, so here I am. Unfortunately, it's a boring one, but that's ok.

Daily Offerings:

Two lambs without defect (one in morning, one in evening)

Grain offering of about 3.5 lbs with olive oil with each lamb

About 1 quart of wine with each lamb

Sabbath Offerings:

Two lambs without defect with about 7 lbs of grain

This is in addition to the daily offerings

Monthly Offerings:

Two young bulls (each with about 10.5 lb of grain and a half gallon of wine)

One ram (with about 7 lb of grain and a third of a gallon of wine)

Seven male lambs (each with about 3.5 lb of grain and a quart of wine)

One male goat as a sin offering

Passover Rules:

Starts on fourteenth day of the first month (typically in March or April in our calendar)

One week of bread without yeast

No regular work on first and seventh day

Two young bulls (each with about 10.5 lb of grain)

One ram (with about 7 lb of grain)

Seven male lambs (each with about 3.5 lb of grain)

One male goat as a sin offering

Festival of Weeks Rules:

Present offering of new grain

No regular work

Two young bulls (each with about 10.5 lb of grain)

One ram (with about 7 lb of grain)

Seven male lambs (each with about 3.5 lb of grain)

One male goat as a sin offering

Festival of Trumpets Rules:

First day of seventh month (usually in September or October in our calendar)

No regular work

One young bulls (with about 10.5 lb of grain)

One ram (with about 7 lb of grain)

Seven male lambs (each with about 3.5 lb of grain)

One male goat as a sin offering

Day of Atonement Rules:

Starts on the tenth day of seventh month (usually in September or October in our calendar)

One young bulls (with about 10.5 lb of grain)

One ram (with about 7 lb of grain)

Seven male lambs (each with about 3.5 lb of grain)

One male goat as a sin offering

Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot) Rules:

Starts on the fifteenth day of seventh month (usually in September or October in our calendar)

Do no regular work on the first and eighth day

On the first day, sacrifice the following:

Thirteen young bulls (each with about 10.5 lb of grain)

Two rams (each with about 7 lb of grain)

Fourteen male lambs (each with about 3.5 lb of grain)

One male goat as a sin offering

On the second through seventh days, perform the same sacrifice with one bull fewer than the previous day

On the eighth day, perform the following sacrifices:

One young bulls (with about 10.5 lb of grain)

One ram (with about 7 lb of grain)

Seven male lambs (each with about 3.5 lb of grain)

One male goat as a sin offering

Rules for Vows:

Men are bound by their vows

A young woman is bound by her vows if her father or husband allows her

Widowed and divorced women always bound by their vows

There's a lot of overlap with Leviticus 23. Boring rules about sacrifices and vows. I'm surprised that the Israelites would have hundreds of young, perfect lambs and bulls every year to essentially throw away. Typical misogyny that is seen throughout the Bible.

Thanks for reading! I'm hoping to post more regularly for the foreseeable future. Feel free to comment on this post or join the Discord for more discussions and fun things like watch parties. The next passage will cover the Israelites approaching Canaan from the plains of Moab (Numbers 31-33).
