Mission gabriel [fr africa]12p "take time to reflect on these passages..in your private time,,read between lines..words god speaks to your soul..diff meaning of the life u & I..re modif..if u r not fully understanding of the meaning of this life , ..something great happens in life..jesus is telling us..what spend 24 hours doing / ? Care for body life..and yet.all these..that we try to..we become sick..draw us away from god..also..Jesus is telling us ..how u use these gifts..what really matters..if any part of your body pulls away from god..better cut off ...not literally..how would feel if cut off hand..? Simply telling ..some things must let go .5 senses of the inner person..things that cause us to become sinful come in thru the senses..try to ...the senses to draw u closer to god..finally blessing ...I was in [the netherlands]? ..if u have hope in your money, health..at this point in life ..put all hope & trust in god..senses..hands ..legs...u spend whole life caring for body & money....put trust hope in lord..discover what..mant to bring u closer to god..wise man sirach..rely not on your wealth..will disappoint.." 1 Sir 5:1-8 Rely not on your wealth; say not: “I have the power.” Rely not on your strength in following the desires of your heart. Say not: “Who can prevail against me?” or, “Who will subdue me for my deeds?” for God will surely exact the punishment Say not: “I have sinned, yet what has befallen me?” for the Most High bides his time Of forgiveness be not overconfident, adding sin upon sin. Say not: “Great is his mercy; my many sins he will forgive.” For mercy and anger alike are with him; upon the wicked alights his wrath. Delay not your conversion to the LORD, put it not off from day to day For suddenly his wrath flames forth; at the time of vengeance you will be destroyed. Rely not upon deceitful wrath, for it will be no help on the day of wrath.
R. (40:5a) R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.Mark 9.41-50 ; Jesus said to his disciples“Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire.
for the image of an unquenchable fire
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. “Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid with what will you restore its flavor? Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another.
