"...Pope Francis has reminded us that the Eucharist "is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak" (EG 47). The Eucharist is bread for the journey for those of us who grow weary, fall, and go astray."

Bishop @silviojbaez addresses one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted passages in St Mark's Gospel in today's homily, Mk 16:17-18. Let's take a look at his commentary in this thread.

"These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes; if they should drink anything deadly, it will not harm them; they will lay hands on the sick & they will get well" (Mk 16:17-18)

Bishop @silviojbaez who is a scripture scholar and former professor of sacred scripture, sheds like on Mark 16:17-18. "The language is somewhat archaic and symbolic," he says, "but it is worth deciphering." This is an effort "to permeate creation with the gospel."

"...For this reason, it's regrettable that there are political leaders who, in comfortable rooms, engage in ideological discussions and party strategies..."

Read these prophetic words of St. John Paul II and see if you can find a description of #USA society:
"This view of #freedom [which exalts the individual in an absolute way] leads to a serious distortion of #life in society....

..."If the promotion of the self is understood in terms of absolute autonomy, people inevitably reach the point of rejecting one another. Everyone else is considered an enemy from whom one has to defend oneself....

..."Thus society becomes a mass of individuals placed side by side, but without any mutual bonds. Each one wishes to assert himself independently of the other and in fact intends to make his own interests prevail....
