1 and it came to pass, when the lord would take up elias into heaven by a whirlwind, that elias and eliseus were going from galgal. 6 and elias said to him: stay here, because the lord hath sent me as far as the jordan. and he said: as the lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, i will not leave thee; and they two went on together, 7 and fifty men of the sons of the prophets followed them, and stood in sight at a distance: but they two stood by the jordan. 8 and elias took his mantle and folded it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they both passed over on dry ground. 9 and when they were gone over, elias said to eliseus: ask what thou wilt have me to do for thee, before i be taken away from thee. and eliseus said: i beseech thee that in me may be thy double spirit. 10 and he answered: thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless if thou see me when i am taken from thee, thou shalt have what thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not have it. 11 and as they went on, walking and talking together, behold a fiery chariot, and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 and eliseus saw him, and cried: my father, my father, the chariot of israel, and the driver thereof. and he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces. 13 and he took up the mantle of elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood upon the bank of the jordan, 14 and he struck the waters with the mantle of elias, that had fallen from him, and they were not divided. and he said: where is now the god of elias? and he struck the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, and eliseus passed over. r. (25) let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the lord. 20 o how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, o lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men. r. let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the lord. 21 thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues. r. let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the lord. 24 o love the lord, all ye his saints: for the lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly. r. let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the lord. r. alleluia, alleluia. 23 whoever loves me will keep my word, and my father will love him and we will come to him. r. alleluia, alleluia. 1 take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your father who is in heaven. 2 therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. amen i say to you, they have received their reward. 3 but when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth. 4 that thy alms may be in secret, and thy father who seeth in secret will repay thee. 5 and when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: amen i say to you, they have received their reward. 6 but thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy father in secret: and thy father who seeth in secret will repay thee. 16 and when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. amen i say to you, they have received their reward. 17 but thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face; 18 that thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy father who is in secret: and thy father who seeth in secret, will repay thee. save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time i comment. catholic gallery offers daily mass readings, prayers, quotes, bible online, yearly plan to read bible, saint of the day and much more. kindly note that this site is maintained by a small group of enthusiastic catholics and this is not from any church or any religious organization. for any queries contact us through the e mail address given below. contact us: [email protected] © 2013   2025 catholic gallery

jesus answered, “very truly i tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of god unless they are born of water and the spirit.” water and spirit   they track together as vital components in conversion and the new birth throughout the new testament (acts 2:38 41; 1 corinthians 6:9 11; titus 3:3 7). one is an act of submission and surrender. the other is a gift and reminder that only god can make us new by his power poured into our lives through the holy spirit. neither is something we can accomplish on our own. so, jesus and john connected these two moves of grace into one new birth event grammatically   “born of water and spirit.” no wonder jesus made them crucial to entering into his kingdom life: we offer ourselves to faith to him, and the spirit gives us new birth into god’s family. holy and righteous father. i acknowledge that my best efforts often fail, and my consistency isn’t always consistent. i’m so thankful you gave me your grace in jesus and made me new by my spiritual birth into your family. in jesus’ name, i thank you. amen. koka the heart of gospel is a part of alpha media llc.© 2025 alpha media llc. all rights reserved.

1 this is what happened when yahweh took elijah up to heaven in the whirlwind: elijah and elisha set out from gilgal, 6 elijah said, 'elisha, you stay here, yahweh is only sending me to the jordan.' but he replied, 'as yahweh lives and as you yourself live, i will not leave you!' and they went on together. 7 fifty of the brotherhood of prophets followed them, halting some distance away as the two of them stood beside the jordan. 8 elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water; and the water divided to left and right, and the two of them crossed over dry shod. 9 when they had crossed, elijah said to elisha, 'make your request. what can i do for you before i am snatched away from you?' elisha answered, 'let me inherit a double share of your spirit.' 10 'your request is difficult,' elijah said. 'if you see me while i am being snatched away from you, it will be as you ask; if not, it will not be so.' 11 now as they walked on, talking as they went, a chariot of fire appeared and horses of fire coming between the two of them; and elijah went up to heaven in the whirlwind. 12 elisha saw it, and shouted, 'my father! my father! chariot of israel and its chargers!' then he lost sight of him, and taking hold of his own clothes he tore them in half. 13 he picked up elijah's cloak which had fallen, and went back and stood on the bank of the jordan. 14 he took elijah's cloak and struck the water. 'where is yahweh, the god of elijah?' he cried. as he struck the water it divided to right and left, and elisha crossed over. 20 safe in your presence you hide them, far from human plotting, shielding them in your tent, far from contentious tongues. 21 blessed be yahweh who works for me miracles of his faithful love (in a fortified city)! 24 be brave, take heart, all who put your hope in yahweh. 1 'be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your father in heaven. 2 so when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration. in truth i tell you, they have had their reward. 3 but when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right is doing; 4 your almsgiving must be secret, and your father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you. 5 'and when you pray, do not imitate the hypocrites: they love to say their prayers standing up in the synagogues and at the street corners for people to see them. in truth i tell you, they have had their reward. 6 but when you pray, go to your private room, shut yourself in, and so pray to your father who is in that secret place, and your father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you. 16 'when you are fasting, do not put on a gloomy look as the hypocrites do: they go about looking unsightly to let people know they are fasting. in truth i tell you, they have had their reward. 17 but when you fast, put scent on your head and wash your face, 18 so that no one will know you are fasting except your father who sees all that is done in secret; and your father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you. copyright 2025 catholic online. all materials contained on this site, whether written, audible or visual are the exclusive property of catholic online and are protected under u.s. and international copyright laws, © copyright 2025 catholic online. any unauthorized use, without prior written consent of catholic online is strictly forbidden and prohibited. catholic online is a project of your catholic voice foundation, a not for profit corporation. your catholic voice foundation has been granted a recognition of tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. federal tax identification number: 81 0596847. your gift is tax deductible as allowed by law.

read all of isaiah 29 niv (read isaiah 29:1 8) ariel may signify the altar of burnt offerings. let jerusalem know that outward religious services will not make men free from judgements. hypocrites never can please god, nor make their peace with him. god had often and long, by a host of angels, encamped round about jerusalem for protection and deliverance; but now he fought against it. proud looks and proud language shall be brought down by humbling providences. the destruction of jerusalem's enemies is foretold. the army of sennacherib went as a dream; and thus the multitudes, that through successive ages fight against god's altar and worship, shall fall. speedily will sinners awake from their soothing dreams in the pains of hell. "reading a daily bible verse helps you focus on god's word, offering spiritual guidance and encouragement for the day ahead." "set aside a few moments each morning or evening to read and reflect on a verse. you can also sign up for our daily verse email to make it a consistent habit." "you can include the verse in your prayer by thanking god for its message, asking him for guidance to apply it in your life, or meditating on how it speaks to your current circumstances." 11 for you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. and if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, "read this, please," they will answer, "i can't; it is sealed." 12 or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, "read this, please," they will answer, "i don't know how to read." 13 the lord says: "these people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.hebrew; septuagint "they worship me in vain;" / "their teachings are merely human rules" 14 therefore once more i will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish." 15 woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the lord, who do their work in darkness and think, "who sees us? who will know?" 16 you turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, "you did not make me"? can the pot say to the potter, "you know nothing"? read isaiah 29:13 14 in another translation the bible has been interpreted in various ways to ensure its message reaches people from different languages, cultures, and perspectives. these interpretations offer unique insights into the meaning of the scripture. therefore no one will be declared righteous in god's sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. a rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool. pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. so i say, live by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. for the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. they are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet i will rejoice in the lord, i will be joyful in god my savior. give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of god? do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of god.

june 19, 2024   the danger of vanity | rss.com matthew 6:1 6, 16 18 jesus said to his disciples: “take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly father. when you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. amen, i say to you, they have received their reward. but when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. and your father who sees in secret will repay you. when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. amen, i say to you, they have received their reward. but when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your father in secret. and your father who sees in secret will repay you. when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. they neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. amen, i say to you, they have received their reward. but when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your father who is hidden. and your father who sees what is hidden will repay you.” introductory prayer: lord, i believe in you with a living faith. though i am so inclined to sin and weakness, i trust in your mercy. i want to show my love for you in this meditation. i long for my recompense to come only from you, not from people’s applause. petition: lord, help me to act with greater purity of intention in my life. people are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered. forgive them anyway. if you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. be kind anyway. if you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. succeed anyway. if you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. be honest and frank anyway. what you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight. build anyway. if you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous. be happy anyway. the good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. do good anyway. give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. give the world the best you have anyway. why? because in the final analysis, all of this is between you and god… it was never between you and them anyway. conversation with christ: thank you, lord, for always seeing what is hidden, for always being ready to reward what is done for you. your words and the example of holy men and women inspire me on this point. i wish to live facing you and eternity and to give up all my vain ambitions and worries about what others think of my actions. resolution: i will renew my purity of intention in the different activities of the day, doing them out of love for christ and to help establish his kingdom. regnum christi (@regnumchristi_english) • instagram photos and videos links of interest contact us copyright © 2025, regnum christi federation, all rights reserved. privacy notice | safe environments | press releases | log in alex kucera has lived in atlanta, ga, for the last 46 years. he is one of 9 children, married to his wife karmen, and has 3 girls, one grandson, and a granddaughter on the way. alex joined regnum christi in 2007. out of the gate, he joined the helping hands medical missions apostolate and is still participating today with the ghana friendship mission. in 2009, alex was asked to be the atlanta rc renewal coordinator for the atlanta locality to help the rc members with the rc renewal process. alex became a group leader in 2012 for four of the atlanta men’s section teams and continues today. running in parallel, in 2013, alex became a team leader and shepherded a large team of good men. alex was honored to be the atlanta mission coordinator between 2010 to 2022 (12 years), coordinating 5 8 holy week mission teams across georgia. he also created and coordinated missions at a parish in athens, ga, for 9 years. alex continues to coordinate holy week missions, advent missions, and monthly missions at good shepherd catholic church in cumming, ga. from 2016 to 2022, alex also served as the men’s section assistant in atlanta. he loved working with the men’s section director, the legionaries, consecrated, and women’s section leadership teams. alex is exceptionally grateful to the legionaries, consecrated, and many rc members who he’s journeyed shoulder to shoulder, growing his relationship with christ and others along the way. he knows that there is only one way, that’s christ’s way, with others!
