  Third Sunday in Lent Sanctified Art  series "Tell Me Something Good" 32  They departed in a boat by themselves for a deserted place. 33  Many people saw them leaving and recognized them, so they ran ahead from all the cities and arrived before them.  34  When Jesus arrived and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things. 35  Late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This is an isolated place, and it’s already late in the day.  36  Send them away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy something to eat for themselves.” 37  He replied, “You give them something to eat.” But they said to him, “Should we go off and buy bread worth almost eight months’ pay and give it to them to eat?” 38  He said to them, “How much bread do you have? Take a look.” After checking, they said, “Fiv...

  First Sunday of Christmas In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of ...

  Pentecost When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.   3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.   4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. 5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.   6 And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each.   7 Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?   8 And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging ...

  Ordinary Time Jesus left that place and went into the region of Tyre. He didn’t want anyone to know that he had entered a house , but he couldn’t hide.  25  In fact, a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him right away. She came and fell at his feet.  26  The woman was Greek, Syrophoenician by birth. She begged Jesus to throw the demon out of her daughter.  27  He responded,  “The children have to be fed first. It isn’t right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” 28  But she answered, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” 29  “Good answer!” he said. “Go on home. The demon has already left your daughter.”  30  When she returned to her house, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone. 31  After leaving the region of Tyre, Jesus went through Sidon toward the Galilee Sea through the region of the Ten Cities....
