The first-born said "my father"

I stumbled upon this verse thinking that they have a different father but the same mother. And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father." -- Gen 19:34 (RSV-CE) But reading into the whole context, I think the girls have the same father -- Lot.

Sunday of the 3rd week of Christmas - The Baptism of the Lord

And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased." -- Mark 1:7-11 (RSV-2CE)

The Didache Bible

Added the Didache Bible on my Wish List The Didache Bible presents extensive commentaries, based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, for each of the books of the Holy Bible. The Didache Bible also includes numerous apologetical inserts to assist the reader in understanding the Church's teachings on current issues. After publishing the books of The Didache Series, Midwest Theological Forum set out to fill a need for a Catholic edition of Sacred Scripture with explanatory and apologetical commentaries based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The publication of the Didache Bible, based on these principles, fulfills the desire of Pope St. John Paul II as expressed in his Apostolic Constitution Fidei Depositum: "The Catechism of the Catholic Church . . . is a statement of the Church's faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church's Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for...

2015 Catechism Reading Plan in 1 Year

This will be my Catechism reading plan for 1 year. My plan is to read this every night after I do my Evening Prayer of the LOTH and before I read the Gospel for tomorrow. I will also do my reflection on the Gospel using the "In His Steps Journal." Then I will proceed with my daily Rosary and Night Prayer of the LOTH before I go to sleep.

NABRE vs. NRSV: Memorial of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors (Jn 1:19-28)

From time to time I will compare readings from the Lectionary using the NABRE and NRSV. This is done by many bloggers and I guess it won't be bad doing the same. Here it goes: NABRE: This is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me...

Another Bible on my Wish List

Here's another bible I will include on my Wish List. This is the Catholic Study Bible . I still don't know when I will have it but I'm praying that in my tight budget I will receive it this January. In my love for the Word of God, I'm starving to study it more. And by the grace of God I hope that the Holy Spirit will enlighten my mind to understand it and live it. I haven't posted that other item on my Wish List here in my blog and I'm inclined to list it down below: The New Testament (Challoner-Rhe​ims) The New Testament And Psalms: Revised Standard Version, Dark Blue, Second Catholic Edition Christian Prayer Douay-Rheims Bible (Pocket size) (1609) Knox Version (1950)
