🗨️ From Jesus, "If I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out?" 🤔️
Station: Saint Lawrence-outside-the Walls.
Today the traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Mass of, Third Sunday In Lent Called, "OCULI". Jesus Said!: "He who is not with me, is against Me." We cannot be neutral in our relations with God. If we do not serve God's true teachings, pride and selfishness will enslave us. "Blessed are they who hear the true word's of God, and keep it!"🙏️
Introit of today's Mass: Ps. 24, 15-16. My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for He shall pluck my feet out of the snare; look Thou upon me, and have mercy on me, for I am alone and poor. Ps. 24, 1. 2. To Thee, O Lord have I lifted up my soul: O my God, I put all my trust in Thee, let me not be ashamed.😓️
Today's Mass lesson for traditional Catholics is the; Holy Gospel: Luke 11, 14-28. At that time Jesus was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb; and when He had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes were in admiration at it: but some of them said: He casteth out devils, by Beelzebub, the prince of devils. And others tempting, asked of Him a sign from heaven. But He seeing their thoughts said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say, that through Beelzebub I cast out devils. Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed keepeth his court: those things are in peace which he possesseth. But if a stronger than he come upon him and overcome him: he will take away all his armor wherein he trusted, and will distribute his spoils. He that is not with Me is against Me: and he that gathereth not with Me, scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest: and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out. And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in they dwell there. And the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. And it came to pass: as He spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd lifting up her voice said to Him: Blessed is the womb that bore Thee, and the paps that gave Thee suck. But He said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.
What are we to understand here by the dumb devil?
The evil spirit, who so controls those of whom he has possession that they are dumb, and through a false shame keep away from confession.
By what power did Christ cast out the devil?
By His divine power, which worked so suddenly and perfectly that the possessed was at once freed and able to speak.
How did Christ show the Jews that He did not cast out devils by Beelzebub?
1. By the parable in which He explains to them that the kingdom of Satan cannot stand if one evil spirit is cast out by another. 2. By pointing to their own children, some of whom were enabled to cast out devils by the power they had received from God ( Mark ix. 37, 38). 3. By His whole life, and His Holy works, which were in direct opposition to the devil. 😈️
