2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 [3] Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. [4] He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. [5] Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? [6] And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. [7] For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. [8] And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. [9] The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve t

Jeremiah 25:8-11 [8] Therefore the Lord Almighty says this: “Because you have not listened to my words, [9] I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,” declares the Lord, “and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin. [10] I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. [11] This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years. --------- Jeremiah 25:12-14 [12] “But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt,” declares the Lord, “and will make it desolate forever. [13] I will bring on that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that

Jeremiah 23:30-34 [30] “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. [31] Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’ [32] Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least,” declares the Lord. [33] “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake you, declares the Lord.’ [34] If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ I will punish them and their household. ------------ Jeremiah 23:36-40 [36] But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort the words of the living God, the Lord Alm

1 Timothy 6:6-10 [6] But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. [8] But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. [9] Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. [10] For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. --------- Keep the Faith.

Psalm 83:13-18 [13] Make them like tumbleweed, my God,     like chaff before the wind.

[16] Cover their faces with shame, Lord,     so that they will seek your name. [17] May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;     may they perish in disgrace.

Jeremiah 23:16-20 [16] This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;     they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds,     not from the mouth of the Lord. [17] They keep saying to those who despise me,     ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’ And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts     they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’ [18] But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord     to see or to hear his word?     Who has listened and heard his word? [19] See, the storm of the Lord     will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down     on the heads of the wicked. [20] The anger of the Lord will not turn back     until he fully accomplishes     the purposes of his heart. In days to come     you will understand it clearly. ---------- Keep the Faith.

Jeremiah 23:9-12 [9] Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me;     all my bones tremble. I am like a drunken man,     like a strong man overcome by wine, because of the Lord     and his holy words. [10] The land is full of adulterers;     because of the curse the land lies parched     and the pastures in the wilderness are withered. The prophets follow an evil course     and use their power unjustly. [11] “Both prophet and priest are godless;     even in my temple I find their wickedness,” declares the Lord. [12] “Therefore their path will become slippery;     they will be banished to darkness     and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them     in the year they are punished,” declares the Lord. ----------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Brother Ron, N.D.S.M.D.

Jeremiah 23:1-4 [1] “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. [2] Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,” declares the Lord. [3] “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. [4] I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord. ----------- Jeremiah 25:34-38 [34] Weep and wail, you shepherds;     roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come;     you will fall like the best of the rams. [35] The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,     the leaders

Psalm 82:1-8 [1] God presides in the great assembly;     he renders judgment among the “gods”: [2] “How long will you defend the unjust     and show partiality to the wicked?

Jeremiah 20:7-12 [7] You deceived me, Lord, and I was deceived;     you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long;     everyone mocks me. [8] Whenever I speak, I cry out     proclaiming violence and destruction. So the word of the Lord has brought me     insult and reproach all day long. [9] But if I say, “I will not mention his word     or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire,     a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in;     indeed, I cannot. [10] I hear many whispering,     “Terror on every side!     Denounce him! Let’s denounce him!” All my friends     are waiting for me to slip, saying, “Perhaps he will be deceived;     then we will prevail over him     and take our revenge on him.” [11] But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior;     so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;     their dishonor will never be forgotten. [12] Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous    

1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:3 {4} [13] Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. [14] For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. [15] According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. [16] For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. [17] After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. [18] Therefore encourage one another with these words. {5} [1] Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write t

1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 [3] It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; [4] that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, [5] not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; [6] and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. [7] For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. ---------- Keep the Faith.

Jeremiah 18:19-23 [19] Listen to me, Lord;     hear what my accusers are saying! [20] Should good be repaid with evil?     Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood before you     and spoke in their behalf     to turn your wrath away from them. [21] So give their children over to famine;     hand them over to the power of the sword. Let their wives be made childless and widows;     let their men be put to death,     their young men slain by the sword in battle. [22] Let a cry be heard from their houses     when you suddenly bring invaders against them, for they have dug a pit to capture me     and have hidden snares for my feet. [23] But you, Lord, know     all their plots to kill me. Do not forgive their crimes     or blot out their sins from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you;     deal with them in the time of your anger. ------------ Keep the Faith. Best regards, Brother Ron, N.D.S.M.D.

You have defiled the land     with your prostitution and wickedness. [3] Therefore the showers have been withheld,     and no spring rains have fallen. Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute;     you refuse to blush with shame. [4] Have you not just called to me:     ‘My Father, my friend from my youth, [5] will you always be angry?     Will your wrath continue forever?’ This is how you talk,     but you do all the evil you can.” ------------ Keep the Faith.

Revelation 22:18-19 [18] I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book; [19] if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. ----------- Keep the Faith.

Luke 24:25-27 [25] He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

[46] He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, [47] and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Psalm 73:2-27 [2] But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;     I had nearly lost my foothold. [3] For I envied the arrogant     when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. [4] They have no struggles;     their bodies are healthy and strong. [5] They are free from common human burdens;     they are not plagued by human ills. [6] Therefore pride is their necklace;     they clothe themselves with violence. [7] From their callous hearts comes iniquity;     their evil imaginations have no limits. [8] They scoff, and speak with malice;     with arrogance they threaten oppression. [9] Their mouths lay claim to heaven,     and their tongues take possession of the earth. [10] Therefore their people turn to them     and drink up waters in abundance. [11] They say, “How would God know?     Does the Most High know anything?” [12] This is what the wicked are like—     always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.

James 2:14-17 [14] What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?

[47] They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.” ---------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Brother Ron, N.D.S.M.D.

Blessings! https://www.goodcatholic.com/celebrating-the-great-feast-of-michaelmas/ Archive:  https://web.archive.org/web/20240531111252/https://www.goodcatholic.com/celebrating-the-great-feast-of-michaelmas/ In times past, the streets of the Catholic West rang with this greeting on the 29th of September. Just like Christmas—the “Mass of Christ”—so too does the term Michaelmas denote the “Mass of Michael,” that is, St. Michael the Archangel. In the current calendar, we celebrate all three Archangels this day—Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael—and all the holy angels. But in former times, the three archangels had their own feast days, with today being the great and ancient feast of St. Michael the Archangel. Alone among the Archangels he possesses a first-class feast (for those who skip meat on Fridays, you know what that means—have a bacon burger today!).  -------------- Keep the Faith.

Ephesians 6:5-9 [5] Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. [6] Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. [7] Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, [8] because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free. [9] And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him. --------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Brother Ron, N.D.S.M.D.

Ephesians 5:8-20 [8] For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light [9] (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) [10] and find out what pleases the Lord. [11] Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. [12] It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. [13] But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. [14] This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper,     rise from the dead,     and Christ will shine on you.” [15] Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, [16] making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. [17] Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. [18] Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, [19] speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and ma

Ephesians 5:3-7 [3] But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. [4] Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. [5] For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Isaiah 53:2-12 [2] He grew up before him like a tender shoot,     and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,     nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. [3] He was despised and rejected by mankind,     a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces     he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. [4] Surely he took up our pain     and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,     stricken by him, and afflicted. [5] But he was pierced for our transgressions,     he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him,     and by his wounds we are healed. [6] We all, like sheep, have gone astray,     each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him     the iniquity of us all.

Acts 1:6-11 [6] Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” [7] He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. [8] But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” [9] After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. [10] They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

Ephesians 4:7-14 [7] But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. [8] This is why it says: “When he ascended on high,     he took many captives     and gave gifts to his people.” [9] (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? [10] He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) [11] So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, [12] to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up [13] until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 2:1-5 [1] As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, [2] in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. [3] All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
