It's about holiness and boundaries . The Ritual: Netilat Yadayim — Washing up to the Elbow 1. What Luke says — Greek is very specific Lucas 11:38: "hoti ou pro ebaptisthe" — he did not baptize himself before dinner. Luke uses baptizo — not nipto (to wash hands casually). Baptizo is immersion, ritual bath. And Mark's parallel tells us the detail Luke omits: Mark 7:3-4: "The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands up to the elbow (pygme), holding to the tradition of the elders." Pygme literally means fist or elbow . Mishnah explains: you pour water from fist to elbow, so water flows down and impurity falls off. So it's not "wash hands" — it's a liturgical act. 2. Where did it come from? It's NOT in the Torah In Torah, only priests must wash before offering sacrifice (Exodus 30:19-21). Lay people have no command to wash before ordinary meal.

Last Monday, Jan 18, 2016, I have noticed that the website of the Diocese is now online again. It was poster here also when it was down before sometime last year.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 4:16-30. When Jesus came to Nazareth where he had been brought up, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath as he usually did. He stood up to read and they handed him the book of the prophet Isaiah. Jesus then unrolled the scroll and found the place where it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives and new sight to the blind; to free the oppressed and announce the Lord’s year of mercy.” Jesus then rolled up the scroll, gave it to the attendant and sat down, while the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he said to them, “Today these prophetic words come true even as you listen.” All agreed with him and were lost in wonder, while he kept on speaking of the grace of God. Nevertheless they asked, “Who is this but Joseph’s son?” So he said, “Doubtless you will quote me the saying: Doctor, heal yourself! Do here in your town what they...

Ang kristong nagbabasbas ay nakita ko sa isa sa mga site sa internet at sinubukam ko ring ilagay sa blog na ito. Sa pamamagitan ng ilang pagsubok at ilang minuto ng panalangin ay pwede rin palang magawa. Kinakailangan ding maging pamiliar ka sa mga uri ng larawan at extensions na guinagamit dito sa internet. maraming salamat Fr. Luigi Coronel. ShareThis Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post
