All the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said:
“Here we are, your bone and your flesh.
In days past, when Saul was our king,
it was you who led the children of Israel out and brought them back.
And the LORD said to you, ‘You shall shepherd my people Israel
and shall be commander of Israel.’”
When all the elders of Israel came to David in Hebron,
King David made an agreement with them there before the LORD,
and they anointed him king of Israel.
David was thirty years old when he became king,
and he reigned for forty years:
seven years and six months in Hebron over Judah,
and thirty-three years in Jerusalem
over all Israel and Judah.
Then the king and his men set out for Jerusalem
against the Jebusites who inhabited the region.
David was told, “You cannot enter here:
the blind and the lame will drive you away!”
which was their way of saying, “David cannot enter here.”
But David did take the stronghold of Zion, which is the City of David.
David grew steadily more powerful,
for the LORD of hosts was with him.

Gospel MK
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.”
“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.

he cannot stand;

but is guilty of an everlasting sin.”
For they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
Meditation: "All sins will be forgiven except..."
When danger lurks what kind of protection do you seek? Jesus
came to free us from the greatest danger of all – the corrupting force of evil
which destroys us from within and makes us slaves to sin and Satan (John 8:34).
Evil is not an impersonal force that just happens. It has a name and a face and
it seeks to master every heart and soul on the face of the earth (1 Peter
5:8-9). Scripture identifies the Evil One by many names, 'Satan', 'Be-el'zebul
– the prince of demons', the 'Devil', the 'Deceiver', the 'Father of Lies', and
'Lucifier', the fallen angel who broke rank with God and established his own
army and kingdom in opposition to God. Jesus declared that he came to overthrow
the power of Satan and his kingdom (John 12:31). Jesus' numerous exorcisms
brought freedom to many who were troubled and oppressed by the work of evil
spirits. Jesus himself encountered personal opposition and battle with Satan
when he was put to the test in the wilderness just before his public ministry
(Matthew 4:1; Luke 4:1). He overcame the Evil One through his obedience to the
will of his Father.
Some of the Jewish leaders reacted vehemently to Jesus' healings
and exorcisms and they opposed him with malicious slander. How could Jesus get
the power and authority to release individuals from Satan's influence and
control? They assumed that he had to be in league with Satan. They attributed
his power to Satan rather than to God. Jesus asserts that no kingdom divided
against itself can survive for long. We have witnessed enough civil wars in our
own time to prove the destructive force at work here for the annihilation of whole
peoples and their land. If Satan lends his power against his own forces then he
is finished. Cyril of Alexandria, a 5th century church father explains the
force of Jesus' argument:
Kingdoms are established by the fidelity of subjects and the
obedience of those under the royal scepter. Houses are established when those
who belong to them in no way whatsoever thwart one another but, on the
contrary, agree in will and deed. I suppose it would establish the kingdom too
of Beelzebub, had he determined to abstain from everything contrary to himself.
How then does Satan cast out Satan? It follows then that devils do not depart
from people on their own accord but retire unwillingly. “Satan,” he says, “does
not fight with himself.” He does not rebuke his own servants. He does not
permit himself to injure his own armorbearers. On the contrary, he helps his
kingdom. “It remains for you to understand that I crush Satan by divine power.”
[Commentary on Luke, Homily 80]
Jesus asserted his authority to cast out demons as a clear
demonstration of the reign of God. God's power is clearly at work in the
exorcisms which Jesus performed and they give evidence that God's kingdom has
come.
What kind of spiritual danger or harm should we avoid at all
costs? Jesus used the illustration of a strong man whose house and possessions
were kept secure. How could such a person be overtaken and robbed of his goods
except by someone who is stronger than himself? Satan, who is our foe and the
arch-enemy of God, is stronger than us. Unless we are clothed in God's
strength, we cannot withstand Satan with our own human strength. What does
Satan wish to take from us – our faith and confidence in God and our readiness
to follow God's commandments. Satan is a rebel and a liar. Satan can only have power
or dominion over us if we listen to his lies and succumb to his will which is
contrary to the will of God. Jesus makes it clear that there are no neutral
parties in this world. We are either for Jesus or against him, for the kingdom
of God or against it. There are ultimately only two kingdoms in opposition to
one another – the kingdom of God's light and truth and the kingdom of darkness
and deception under the rule of Satan. If we disobey God's word, we open the
door to the power of sin and Satan's influence in our lives. If we want to live
in true freedom from the power of sin and Satan, then our "house" –
our mind and heart and whatever we allow to control our appetites and desires –
must be occupied and ruled by Jesus Christ where he is enthroned as Lord and
Savior. Do you know the peace and security of a life submitted to God and to
his Word?
What is the unforgivable sin which Jesus warns us to avoid?
Jesus knows that his disciples will be tested and he assures them that the Holy
Spirit will give them whatever grace and help they need in their time of
adversity. He warns them, however, that it's possible to spurn the grace of God
and to fall into apostasy (giving up the faith) out of cowardice or disbelief.
Why is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit reprehensible? Blasphemy consists in
uttering against God, inwardly or outwardly, words of hatred, reproach, or
defiance. It's contrary to the respect due God and his holy name. Jesus speaks
of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit as the unforgivable sin. Jesus spoke
about this sin immediately after the scribes and Pharisees had attributed his
miracles to the work of the devil instead of to God. A sin can only be
unforgivable if repentance is impossible. If people repeatedly closes their
eyes to God, shuts their ears to his voice, and reject his word, they bring
themselves to a point where they can no longer recognize God when he can be
seen and heard. They become spiritually blind-sighted and speak of "evil
as good and good as evil" (Isaiah 5:20).
To fear such a state of sin and spiritual blindness, however,
signals that one is not dead to God and is conscious of the need for God's
grace, mercy, and help. There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who
refuses to acknowledge and confess their sins and to ask God for forgiveness,
spurns God's generous offer of mercy, pardon, grace, and healing. Through their
own stubborn pride and wilfullness, they reject God, refuse his grace and help
to turn away from sin, and reject the transforming power of the Holy Spirit to
heal and restore them to wholeness. God always gives sufficient grace and help
to all who humbly call upon him. Giving up on God and refusing to turn away
from sin and disbelief results from pride and the loss of hope in God.
What is the basis of our hope and confidence in God? Through
Jesus' death on the cross and his victory over the grave when he rose again on
the third day, Satan has been defeated and death has been overcome. We now
share in Christ's victory over sin and Satan and receive adoption as God's sons
and daughters. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Lord enables us to live
a new life of love and freedom from slavery to sin. The Lord Jesus is our
refuge and strength because he makes his home with us (John 15:4) and gives us
the power and help of the Holy Spirit. Do you take refuge in the Lord and allow
him to be the Ruler of your life?
"Lord Jesus, you are my hope and salvation. Be the ruler of
my heart and the master of my home. May there be nothing in my life that is not
under your lordship."

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."
Introductory Prayer:Lord, I
believe that you are the source of all goodness. I know that your goodness is
both a challenge and a promise. I trust that your goodness will envelop me if
I allow myself to be found by you. I love you for wanting to fight the battle
against evil for my sake.
Petition:Lord, help me not to be
afraid of the battle against evil.
1. Not Indifferent:With
Jesus on earth, another world becomes evident around us: the world of evil
spirits. Jesus has come to take control of the kingdom. The devils are in a
panic and begin to lose ground. Jesus is a threat to evil. His goodness,
truth and holiness are capable of putting the devils into submission. When
Christ takes a stronger hold on my life, things begin to change. Do I let
Christ challenge evil in my heart? In the world around me?
2. Not One of Them Jesus brings
change: But change is not evil per se. The change
that Jesus brings is good, since he comes to put demons in their place,
bringing about good. This awakening of the good worries the devil. The
conquest over evil is not always done in peace and tranquility. Does the
spiritual opposition I face as I try to overcome evil in my life cause me to
hesitate in the fight or to wish that Jesus and his teachings would not be so
demanding? Do I realize that facing difficulties is a sign of growth in
Christian authenticity? Do I let the goodness of Christ radically define my
life? Even in the face of opposition?
3. Only Good: Think of
the joy that people experienced when Jesus freed them from the power of the
Evil One. Think of the joy we feel after making a good confession, attending
a good retreat or progressing in virtue. Jesus comes into our life to bring
the joy of freedom from evil. He is God’s goodness made flesh. Do I rejoice
to have Christ as my friend? Do I try to listen to his teachings with a
willing heart, thankful for the chance I have to abide in God’s heart by
living the life of grace? What an amazing friend I have! I can trust in his
power to lead me along the path of life.
Conversation with Christ: Christ,
I know that you are more powerful than evil. Help me to face up to evil in my
life, encouraged by your friendship and strength. In your name Lord, I will
walk with confidence.
Resolution: I
will do something to share my faith with others today.

MONDAY, JANUARY 27, MARK 3:22-30
(2 Samuel 5:1-7; Psalm 89)
(2 Samuel 5:1-7; Psalm 89)
KEY VERSE: "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand" (v 24).
READING: When Jesus returned to Capernaum, large crowds gathered around him making it impossible for him and his disciples to eat. Some scribes from Jerusalem charged him with performing exorcisms by the power of "Beelzebul" ('lord of the lofty dwelling,' the pagan god Baal of Syria). Jesus described the folly of a divided kingdom. If a nation was torn by civil war, it could not stand. Neither could a family withstand internal strife. Similarly, if Satan worked against himself, his domain would eventually collapse. Jesus was the "strong man" (v 27) who plundered Satan's household. Satan's defenses had been breached, and one mightier than he had arrived, and the conquest of Satan had begun. Anyone who declared that Jesus was in league with the king of the demons was guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit who was at work in Jesus.
REFLECTING: Am I a source of unity or a cause of discord in my family and community?
PRAYING: Lord Jesus, reconcile any divisions in my life.
NOTE: Abraham Lincoln used Jesus' quotation in his House Divided speech against slavery. "A nation that is half free is not free."
Memorial of Angela
Merici, virgin
A Franciscan tertiary at age 15, Angela Merici received a vision telling her she would inspire devout women in their vocation. During a pilgrimage to Holy Land, she was struck blind. Her friends wanted to return home, but she insisted on going on, visiting the shrines with as much devotion and enthusiasm as if she had her sight. On the way home, while praying before a crucifix, her sight was restored at the same place where it had been lost. In 1535 she gathered a group of female students and began what would become the Institute of Saint Ursula (the Ursuline Sisters), which was founded to teach children, beginning with religion and later expanding into secular topics. Her first schools were in Desenazno and Brescia. She was canonized in 1807 by Pope Pius VII. Her body remains incorrupt.
MINUTE MEDITATIONS
The Key to Humility
Instead of trying to puff themselves up into something greater
than they are, Christians should simply be happy to do what is right.
My faithfulness and love shall be
with him
‘Those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will never have
forgiveness, but will be guilty of an everlasting sin.’A puzzling saying. Does the Lord of mercy ever deny that he is merciful? Let us recall this: those who are ill remain ill if they do not acknowledge that they are ill. As Jesus shows us in the story of the two men who went to pray, the man who confessed that he was a sinner became free from sin whereas the man who closed his eyes to his sinful state remained in it. It is so easy to deceive oneself. How often do I look over my daily life and examine my conduct? Am I living blindly, merrily thinking that all is well with me?

St. Angela Merici
(1470?-1540)
St. Angela Merici
(1470?-1540)
Angela has the double distinction of founding the first teaching
congregation of women in the Church and what is now called a “secular
institute” of religious women.
As a
young woman she became a member of the Third Order of St. Francis (now known as
the Secular Franciscan Order), and lived a life of great austerity, wishing,
like St. Francis, to own nothing, not even a bed. Early in life she was
appalled at the ignorance among poorer children, whose parents could not or
would not teach them the elements of religion. Angela’s charming manner and
good looks complemented her natural qualities of leadership. Others joined her
in giving regular instruction to the little girls of their neighborhood.
She was
invited to live with a family in Brescia (where, she had been told in a vision,
she would one day found a religious community). Her work continued and became
well known. She became the center of a group of people with similar ideals.
She
eagerly took the opportunity for a trip to the Holy Land. When they had gotten
as far as Crete, she was struck with blindness. Her friends wanted to return
home, but she insisted on going through with the pilgrimage, and visited the
sacred shrines with as much devotion and enthusiasm as if she had her sight. On
the way back, while praying before a crucifix, her sight was restored at the
same place where it had been lost.
At 57,
she organized a group of 12 girls to help her in catechetical work. Four years
later the group had increased to 28. She formed them into the Company of St.
Ursula (patroness of medieval universities and venerated as a leader of women)
for the purpose of re-Christianizing family life through solid Christian
education of future wives and mothers. The members continued to live at home,
had no special habit and took no formal vows, though the early Rule prescribed
the practice of virginity, poverty and obedience. The idea of a teaching
congregation of women was new and took time to develop. The community thus
existed as a “secular institute” until some years after Angela’s death.
Comment:
As with so many saints, history is mostly concerned with their activities. But we must always presume deep Christian faith and love in one whose courage lasts a lifetime, and who can take bold new steps when human need demands.

2) Gospel Reading - Mark 3,22-30
The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying,
'Beelzebul is in him,' and, 'It is through the prince of devils that he drives
devils out.'
So he called them to him and spoke to them in parables, 'How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot last. And if a household is divided against itself, that household can never last. Now if Satan has rebelled against himself and is divided, he cannot last either -- it is the end of him. But no one can make his way into a strong man's house and plunder his property unless he has first tied up the strong man. Only then can he plunder his house. 'In truth I tell you, all human sins will be forgiven, and all the blasphemies ever uttered; but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin.' This was because they were saying, 'There is an unclean spirit in him.'

This was because they were saying, 'There is an unclean spirit in him.'
3) Reflection
• The conflict grows. In the Gospel of Mark there is a progressive sequence. In the
measure in which the Good News advances and people accept it, in the same
measure grows also the resistance on the part of the religious authority. The
conflict began to grow and to influence all the groups of persons. For example,
the relatives of Jesus thought that he was out of his mind. (Mk 3, 20-21), and
the Scribes who had come from Jerusalem thought that he was possessed, that
Beelzebul was in him (Mk 3, 22).
• The conflict with the authority. The Scribes slandered against him. They said that Beelzebul was in him and that it was through the prince of devils that he drove out the devils. They had come from Jerusalem, about 120 kilometres distance, to keep an eye on or watch Jesus’ behaviour. They wanted to defend tradition against the novelty that Jesus taught to the people (Mk 7, 1). They thought that his teaching was against the good doctrine. The response given by Jesus had three parts.
- First Part: The comparison with a divided family. Jesus uses the comparison of the divided family and of the divided kingdom to denounce the absurdity of the slander. To say that Jesus casts out or drives out the devils with the help of the prince of the devils is to deny the evidence, what is evident. It is like saying that water is dry, and that the sun is darkness. The doctors of Jerusalem slandered, because they did not know how to explain the benefits worked by Jesus in behalf of the people. They were afraid to lose their leadership.
- Second Part: The comparison of the strong man. Jesus compares the devil to a strong man. Nobody, unless he is a strong person, will be able to take away the house from a strong man, to rob it. Jesus is the strongest of all. And this is why he succeeds to enter the house and to dominate and overcome the strong man. He succeeds in driving out the devils. Jesus wins over the strong man and robs his house, that is, he liberates the persons who were under the power of the evil one. The Prophet Isaiah had already used the same comparison to describe the coming of the Messiah (Is 49, 24-25). Luke adds that the expulsion of the devil is an evident sign of the coming of the Kingdom (Lk 11, 20).
- Third part: The sin against the Holy Spirit. All sins are forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Spirit. Which is the sin against the Holy Spirit? It is to say: “The spirit which impels Jesus to cast out or drive out the devil, comes precisely from the devil!” The one who speaks in this way is incapable to receive pardon. Why? Can the one who covers his eyes guess? He cannot! The one who closes his mouth, can he eat? He cannot. The one who does not close the umbrella of slander, can he receive the rain of pardon? He cannot! Pardon would pass by his side but would not reach him. It is not that God does not want to forgive. God always wants to forgive. But it is the sinner who refuses to receive pardon!

4) Personal questions
• The
religious authorities close themselves up in themselves and deny the evidence.
Has this ever happened to me, that I close myself in self before the evidence
of facts?
• Slander is the arm or weapon of the weak. Have you had experience on this point?
• Slander is the arm or weapon of the weak. Have you had experience on this point?
5) Concluding prayer
The whole wide world has seen the saving power of our God.
Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth,
burst into shouts of joy! (Ps 98,3-4)
Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth,
burst into shouts of joy! (Ps 98,3-4)
