WEDNESDAY of the FIFTH Week in Ordinary Time (Mark 7, 14-23) Gospel Mk 7:14-23 Jesus summoned the crowd again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile." When he got home away from the crowd his disciples questioned him about the parable. He said to them, "Are even you likewise without understanding? Do you not realize that everything that goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters not the heart but the stomach and passes out into the latrine?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.) "But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him. From within the man, from his heart, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from within and they defile." The Gospel of the Lord:" Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. WEDNESDAY OF WEEK 5 OF ORDINARY TIME (Mark 7, 14-23) The Word of God For Everyone Dear people of God, In continuation of yesterday's Gospel lesson, today, God teaches people what is clean and what is unclean. According to God, the food that enters the human stomach is not unclean because it will be excreted. As for what is unclean, comes from the human mind and heart, and comes out with bad thoughts and deeds such as licentiousness, theft, murder, adultery, malice, deceit, envy, and arrogance. Today, God teaches humanity how to cleanse those things from our hearts and minds, to be pure and close to God. From the beginning, God created man in His image, and everything was good and pure before Him. Then because of the original sin that has defiled humans. Because of God's love and mercy, He forgave all original sins for humans through the Sacrament of Baptism and humans became pure. But when people grow up in an environment and a society full of satan's temptations, we disobey God's words, follow satan's instigations, and commit sins. In this world, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the only one who does not sin before God, because She has been granted by God the privilege of being immaculate, free of original sin; As for humans, no one is without sin. God teaches people to be pure from those sins, go to confession, fast, pray continuously with God, attend Mass and Eucharistic adoration, and always live in close union with God, to have God's words and God's presence always in our mind, then He will help us to be cleansed from sins and stay away from lustful habits, arrogance, and unjust thoughts. In this era, God wants to teach humans that those impurities and sinful things are caused by satan tempting people. Because people are very weak, some people can overcome it, others cannot. Therefore, God wants everyone to have close solidarity with God and each other, and prayers from the community, and from God's chosen people are greatly needed. God said that the temptation and demonic possession of humans have existed since ancient times. However, over time, it has been obscured and forgotten, so people do not recognize them. Today, God said that to remove the bad thoughts and demons that tempt people to pride, lust, division, discord, and jealousy among each other, everyone should rely on God and His chosen ones. In this era, God has chosen some people to enter into His new plan, which is known as "The Divine Plan of Sanctification" of the Holy Spirit. The Plan of The House of God the Father in Bao Loc. He revealed to them the world of demons, with many different types of demons: demons of lust, demons of pride, demons of jealousy, demons of division, etc. He told them what to do to overcome these demons in themselves and in those who needed their prayers and help. Thanks be to God. Amen.
