What do you ask of Jesus today?
Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.Mark 10:51-52

After Jesus had spoken,
a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. The Lord said to him, "Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you." Write about ways in which you have been like the pharisees in this parable , and how have you been like Jesus...what was the situation? why did you feel this way What aspects of your personality do you think are the strongest and least likely to change as you get older.
Jesus entered a village
where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." Journal: What are the things that you are anxious about and need the strength to handle right now in your day-to-day decisions? "It is here in the pieces of my shame that I find myself. I find, that is, that I need something more than myself in order to be true to myself." Rainer Maria Rilke
