The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Trial and the Cross

You have no power at all against me unless it is given to you from above.

Why do you prosecute me by these accusations? Interrogate those who heard me teach. They know very well the things I have said. I did not spread my message in secret, but spoke openly for the world to hear, teaching publicly in places of worship and the courtyards of the temple where my followers gathered.

If what I have said violates your laws, then give evidence of this. But if I have spoken the truth, then why do you strike me?

My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my followers would have taken up arms to defend it, that I should not be delivered into your hands. But mine is not an earthly kingdom. Yet you are right when you accuse me of being a king. To this end was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world: that I should be a witness to the truth. All who love the truth recognize my message. Now will the prince of this world be overthrown, and if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to me.

This above all is why my Father loves me; for I lay down my life willingly that I might take it up again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down; and I have the power to take it up again. The Father has given me this power.

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

V

Lord God, Abba Father, today’s readings hold many truths and are deep for meditation; yet I always seek the words in red. Those Words spoken by my Lord and Savior, for to me they are they way and hold the truths. While the wisdom of the saints like St. Thomas More are rich, I seek the purity of the teachings of Jesus and ask and pray that the spirit which lives within me would help me to walk in these words always knowing that while under the sun I have only time to serve Jesus, and must continue preparing myself to be ready to serve and continue feeling for Your will so I will know where, how and with who to serve. Guide me, bless me, protect me and teach me Lord God in Jesus name I ask and pray. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

V

When death comes, and we stand before God, no king can command Him, no authority can restrain Him, no riches can hire Him to wait past his appointed time even one moment of an hour. Therefore let us speak what we are bound to speak and do the deeds we are called to do. No empty time is allowed to any of us.

— St. Thomas More

Deuteronomy 30:15-20

15  "See, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil.  16  If you obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you this day, by loving the LORD your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, then you shall live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to take possession of it.  20  loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice, and cleaving to him; for that means life to you and length of days, that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." 
Psalm 1-4, 6

1  Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;  2  but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.  3  He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 
Luke 9:22-25

22  saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."  23  And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.  24  For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.  25  For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?

Jesus Questioned About Fasting

Then John’s disciples came and asked him, "How is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast. "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humbly I ask and pray discipline, oneness and servants eye; the discipline to carry out and finish what I start for You, oneness in Your wisdom to know what is right and best according to You will for me to do, and servants eye to see and know what and who You want me to serve. This I ask in Jesus name, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

It is impossible for a person who prays regularly to remain in serious sin; because the two are incompatible, one or the other will have to be given up.

Joel 2:12-18

12  "Yet even now," says the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;  13  and rend your hearts and not your garments." Return to the LORD, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil. 
Psalm 51:3-6, 12-14, 17

3  For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.  4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment.  5  Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.  6  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.  12  Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.  13  Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee.  14  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance.  17  The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 
2 Corinthians 5:20 – 6:2

20  So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.  21  For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.  1  Working together with him, then, we entreat you not to accept the grace of God in vain.  2  For he says, "At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation." Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 
Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

1  "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.  2  "Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.  3  But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,  4  so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.  5  "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.  6  But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.  16  "And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.  17  But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,  18  that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Disciples and Servants

You cannot allow two masters to rule your life. Either you will disregard one and love the other; or else cling to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and remain enslaved to the gods of this world.

I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. Be as wise as serpents, but as harmless as doves.

You have seen how the earthly rulers exercise their authority, inconsiderate of the poor. This is not how it is to those in the kingdom of God. Whoever would be great among you must first become your servant. And whoever of you would be the greatest, must first be servant of all. Even so, I have come, not to be served, but to serve, and to give my life as a ransom for many.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, humbly I listen, I watch, I wait for Your secret truths; those spiritual insights that when I can grasp become truths for me as through the ages. Secrets that when I am able to weave together in the conscious moments become steps, steps that when put together become my walk. That walk that I seek, ask and pray for that in and through Jesus I would know You more, love You more, walk in and with You more. And in so doing let Your light shine from within me for others to see. This I pray, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Highest Providence often works a wonderful miracle: that of having evil men make others who are evil to become good.

Sirach 2:1-11

1  My son, if you come forward to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for temptation.  2  Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be hasty in time of calamity.  3  Cleave to him and do not depart, that you may be honored at the end of your life.  4  Accept whatever is brought upon you, and in changes that humble you be patient.  5  For gold is tested in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation.  6  Trust in him, and he will help you; make your ways straight, and hope in him.  7  You who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and turn not aside, lest you fall.  8  You who fear the Lord, trust in him, and your reward will not fail;  9  you who fear the Lord, hope for good things, for everlasting joy and mercy.  10  Consider the ancient generations and see: who ever trusted in the Lord and was put to shame? Or who ever persevered in the fear of the Lord and was forsaken? Or who ever called upon him and was overlooked?  11  For the Lord is compassionate and merciful; he forgives sins and saves in time of affliction. 
Psalm 37:3-4, 18-19, 27-28, 39-40

3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security.  4  Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.  18  The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will abide for ever;  19  they are not put to shame in evil times, in the days of famine they have abundance.  27  Depart from evil, and do good; so shall you abide forever.
Mark 9:30-37

30  They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he would not have any one know it;  31  for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise."  32  But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask him.  33  And they came to Caper’na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"  34  But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.  35  And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."  36  And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,  37  "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."

Christ’s Prayer for His Disciples

I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me; for they truly are yours. All who have believed in me are yours; and they do honor me. I am returning to you in heaven; but those that believe in me remain behind. Father, keep them by the power of your name; that they all may be one, as we are one.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, humbly I pray, renew a right spirit within me for I know I have fallen short of You glory in want I have said and done, and what I have failed to do right; but in and through Jesus I keep getting up and coming to the foot of the Cross. For it is there I find truth, love and forgiveness for me and for me to give to others. I must die to myself in every and all ways, help me Abba Father in the moments of my weakness, remind me and help me feel the difference in that which is just fleeting satisfaction and that which is of everlasting value. For I do seek You and in my moments of weakness I also forget and or lack the wisdom that is everlasting. Fill my spirit with You wisdom in these moments or throw me down to the foot of the Cross. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

V

There are two sides to every sin: the turning of the will towards fleeting satisfaction and the turning away from everlasting value. The first can be called lust; the unbridled desire for pleasure. The second is pride; the lack of the submission to God.

— St. Thomas Aquinas

Sirach 1:1-10

1  All wisdom comes from the Lord and is with him forever.  2  The sand of the sea, the drops of rain, and the days of eternity — who can count them?  3  The height of heaven, the breadth of the earth, the abyss, and wisdom — who can search them out?  4  Wisdom was created before all things, and prudent understanding from eternity.  5  The root of wisdom — to whom has it been revealed? Her clever devices — who knows them?  6  There is One who is wise, greatly to be feared, sitting upon his throne.  7  The Lord himself created wisdom; he saw her and apportioned her, he poured her out upon all his works.  8  She dwells with all flesh according to his gift, and he supplied her to those who love him.  9  The fear of the Lord is glory and exultation, and gladness and a crown of rejoicing.  10  The fear of the Lord delights the heart, and gives gladness and joy and long life. 
Psalm 93:1-2, 5
Mark 9:14-29

14  And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd about them, and scribes arguing with them.  15  And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.  16  And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"  17  And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit;  18  and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able."  19  And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."  20  And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.  21  And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood.  22  And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."  23  And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."  24  Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"  25  And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."  26  And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead."  27  But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.  28  And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"  29  And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer."

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

THE REVELATION

THE TIME IS COME THAT THE SON OF MAN BE REVEALED AND GLORIFIED.

I DO NOT COME SEEKING MY OWN GLORY: THERE IS ONE WHO SEEKS TO EXALT ME, AND HE IS THE JUDGE OF ALL WHO REJECT ME.

IT IS WRITTEN IN YOUR EARTHLY LAWS THAT THE CONCURRING TESTIMONY OF TWO WITNESSES IS TRUE. ACCORDINGLY, I BEAR WITNESS OF MYSELF, AS DOES MY FATHER WHO HAS SENT ME. I KNOW THAT THE WITNESS HE HAS GIVEN OF ME IS TRUE. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DO NOT HAVE NEED OF THE ENDORSEMENT OF ANY EARTHLY AUTHORITY.

HE WHO SPEAKS ONLY HIS OWN IDEAS DOES SO TO GAIN HONOR FOR HIMSELF. BUT HE WHO WORKS FOR THE GLORY AND HONOR OF THE ONE WHO HAS SENT HIM IS TRUE, AND THERE IS NOTHING FALSE OR VAINGLORIOUS IN HIM.

I HAVE NOT COME TO YOU ON MY OWN BEHALF, BUT HAVE BEEN SENT BY THE ONE WHO IS TRUTH. NOR HAVE I COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO DO MY OWN WILL, BUT RATHER TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER WHO HAS SENT ME. I WAS BORN AND CAME INTO THIS WORLD FOR ONE PURPOSE: TO BE A LIVING WITNESS TO THE TRUTH. THOSE WHO LOVE THE TRUTH WILL FOLLOW ME.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, Oh My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. For under the sun we must constantly be dying to ourselves, for when we stop we stumble and fall short of Your glory. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Isaiah 43:18-19, 21-22, 24-25

18  "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.  19  Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.  21  the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.  25  "I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. 
Psalm 41:2-5, 13-14

2  the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; thou dost not give him up to the will of his enemies.  3  The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness thou healest all his infirmities.  4  As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against thee!"  5  My enemies say of me in malice: "When will he die, and his name perish?" 
2 Corinthians 1:18-22

18  As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.  19  For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we preached among you, Silva’nus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes.  20  For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God.  21  But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has commissioned us;  22  he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 
Mark 2:1-12

1  And when he returned to Caper’na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home.  2  And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them.  3  And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.  4  And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay.  5  And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven."  6  Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts,  7  "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"  8  And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts?  9  Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk’?  10  But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" — he said to the paralytic —  11  "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."  12  And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Power of Prayer

Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be full.

The prophet Isaiah has written: "My house shall be called by all nations a house of prayer."

Pray then, to the Father who hears your most intimate prayers and rewards them openly; and whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will provide. If you live your life in me, and let my words live in you, you may ask what you wish and it will be given to you.

Pray in this manner:

“Our Father in heaven, may all the earth recognize that you are the one and holy God. May your kingdom dwell among us. May your purpose be accomplished on earth, as it is in heaven. Provide us with daily bread to sustain us, and forgive our falling short. Help us to forgive those who have wronged us. Keep us from wandering into faithlessness, and deliver us from the evil one. For to you belongs all power and glory, eternally. Let it be so."

V

Lord God, Abba Father, O that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory for Your service. That Your hand would be with me to keep me and mine from evil and from pain. Always making us aware of those You place in our path that are in need and afflicted, and convicting us when we place ourselves and our needs before those of others. Let me walk in the Spirit putting You first, others next and me third. I do believe You will provide what I need for today, I just keep asking that Your will be done in and through me each day. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

V

No one has ever been accused for not providing ornaments, but for those who neglect their neighbor a hell awaits with an inextinguishable fire and torment in the company of the demons. Do not, therefore, adorn the church and ignore your afflicted brother, for he is the most precious temple of all.

— St John Chrysostom

Hebrews 11:1-7

1  Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  2  For by it the men of old received divine approval.  3  By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.  4  By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking.  5  By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.  6  And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.  7  By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith. 
Psalm 145:2-5, 10-11

2  Every day I will bless thee, and praise thy name forever and ever.  3  Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.  4  One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.  5  On the glorious splendor of thy majesty, and on thy wondrous works, I will meditate.  10  All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee!  11  They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power, 
Mark 9:2-13

2  And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,  3  and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

4  And there appeared to them Eli’jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.  5  And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli’jah."  6  For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.  7  And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him."  8  And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only.  9  And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead.  10  So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.  11  And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Eli’jah must come?"  12  And he said to them, "Eli’jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?  13  But I tell you that Eli’jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Disciples and Servants

You cannot allow two masters to rule your life. Either you will disregard one and love the other; or else cling to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and remain enslaved to the gods of this world.

Lord God, Abba Father, how often Your Words make me feel as if I am not meant to understand having knowledge and wisdom as to Your truths. For I am meant to walk by faith knowing that that which is unseen is more real than that which is seen. And the only wisdom I need is that sufficient to trust in You for all things. Mine is but to stay close to You in and through Jesus in His Spirit which is alive in me. O that You would keep me humble, for it is there that I remain thankful. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

What little love for God you have when you give in without a fight because it’s not a grave sin!

Genesis 11:1-9

6  And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.  7  Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech."  8  So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.  9  Therefore its name was called Ba’bel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
Psalm 33:10-15

10  The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nought; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.  11  The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 
Mark 8:34 — 9:1

34  And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.  35  For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.  36  For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?  37  For what can a man give in return for his life?  38  For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."  1 And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power."
