March – 7 | Day – 66
Old Testament: Leviticus – 15 | Jeremiah – 2:1-19

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: The man who undergoes a flow of seed shall be unclean.

3 And then he shall be judged subject to this fault, if a filthy fluid, at each moment, adheres to his flesh and gathers there.

4 Every bed on which he sleeps shall be unclean, and every place where he sits.

5 If any man has touched his couch, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

6 If he will have sat where that man has sat, he shall also wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

7 Whoever has touched his flesh shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

8 If such a man has cast his spittle upon him who is clean, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

9 The saddle on which he has sat shall be unclean.

10 And whatever has been under him who has undergone a flow of seed shall be polluted until evening. Whoever carries any of these things shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

11 All whom such a one has touched, not having washed his hands before, shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

12 If he has touched an earthen vessel, it shall be broken. But if it is a wooden vessel, it shall be washed with water.

13 If he who suffers from this affliction will have been healed, he shall number seven days after his cleansing, and having washed his clothes and his entire body in living water, he shall be clean.

14 Then, on the eighth day, he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and he shall advance, in the sight of the Lord, toward the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall give these to the priest,

15 who shall offer one for sin, and the other as a holocaust. And he shall pray for him before the Lord, so that he may be cleansed from the flow of his seed.

16 A man from whom the seed of sexual intercourse goes out shall wash his entire body with water, and he shall be unclean until evening.

17 The garment or skin which he will have, he shall wash with water, and it shall be unclean until evening.

18 The woman with whom he has had sexual intercourse shall be washed with water, and she shall be unclean until evening.

19 The woman who, at the return of the month, undergoes the flow of blood shall be separated for seven days.

20 All who will touch her shall be unclean until evening.

21 And everything on which she sleeps or sits, in the days of her separation, shall be polluted.

22 Whoever will have touched her bed shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

23 Anyone who will have touched any item on which she has sat shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be polluted until evening.

24 If a man has sexual intercourse with her in the time of her monthly flow of blood, he shall be unclean for seven days, and every bed on which he sleeps shall be polluted.

25 The woman who undergoes a flow of blood many days beyond her time of menstruation, or whose blood does not cease to flow after the menstrual blood, as long as she is subject to this affliction, she shall be unclean, just as if she were in her time of menstruation.

26 Every bed on which she sleeps, and every item on which she sits, shall be polluted.

27 Whoever will have touched these shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

28 If the blood has stopped and has ceased to flow, she shall number seven days for her purification,

29 and on the eighth day she shall offer for herself, to the priest, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

30 And he shall offer one for sin, and the other as a holocaust, and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the flow of her uncleanness.

31 Therefore, you shall teach the sons of Israel to be cautious of uncleanness, so that they may not die in their filth, when they will have polluted my tabernacle, which is among them.

32 This is the law of him who undergoes a flow of seed, or who is polluted by sexual intercourse,

33 and of her who is separated in the time of menstruation, or who has a continual flow of blood, and of the man who sleeps with her.

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 Go, and cry out to the ears of Jerusalem, saying: Thus says the Lord: I have remembered you, taking pity on your youth and on the charity of your betrothal, when you followed me into the desert, into a land which is not sown.

3 Israel is holy to the Lord, the first of his fruits. All those who devour him commit an offense. Evils will overwhelm them, says the Lord.”

4 Listen to the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all you families of the house of Israel.

5 Thus says the Lord: “What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they would draw far away from me, and would walk after emptiness, and would become empty?

6 And they have not said: ‘Where is the Lord, who caused us to ascend from the land of Egypt; who led us through the desert, through an uninhabited and impassable land, through a land of drought and of the image of death, through a land in which no one walked and in which no man lived?’

7 And I led you into the land of Carmel, so that you would eat from its fruit and from its excellence. And having entered it, you defiled my land, and you turned my inheritance into an abomination.

8 The priests have not sad: ‘Where is the Lord?’ And those who held the law did not know me. And the pastors betrayed me. And the prophets prophesied in Baal and followed idols.

9 Because of this, I will still contend in judgment against you, says the Lord, and I will dispute with your sons.

10 Cross over to the isles of Kittim, and gaze. And send to Kedar, and consider diligently. And see if anything like this has ever been done.

11 See if a nation has ever changed their gods, though certainly those are not gods. Yet truly, my people have exchanged their glory for an idol.

12 Be astonished at this, O heavens, and be utterly desolate, O gates of heaven, says the Lord.

13 For my people have done two evils. They have forsaken me, the Fountain of living water, and they have dug for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that are unable to hold water.

14 Is Israel a servant, or one born into slavery? Then why has he become a prey?

15 The lions have roared over him, and they have uttered their voice. They have set his land in solitude; his cities have been burned up, and there is no one who lives in them.

16 Likewise, the sons of Memphis and of Tahpanhes have defiled you, even to the top of the head.

17 Has this not been done to you because you abandoned the Lord your God, in that time when he was leading you by the way?

18 And now what do you want from the way of Egypt, but to drink their turbid water? And what do you want from the way of the Assyrians, but to drink the water of their river?

19 Your own malice will reprove you, and your own apostasy will rebuke you! But know and perceive this: it is an evil and bitter thing for you to forsake the Lord your God, and to be without my fear within you, says the Lord, the God of hosts.

Psalms: Psalms – 33:1-10

1 A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.

2 Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.

4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

5 He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.

9 For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.

10 The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.

New Testament: Mark – 9:24-49

24 And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore.”

25 And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, “He is dead.”

26 But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.

27 And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”

28 And he said to them, “This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting.”

29 And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.

30 Then he taught his disciples, and he said to them, “For the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, on the third day he will rise again.”

31 But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.

32 And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”

33 But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.

34 And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all.”

35 And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:

36 Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.

37 John responded to him by saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; he does not follow us, and so we prohibited him.”

38 But Jesus said: “Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me.

39 For whoever is not against you is for you.

40 For whoever, in my name, will give you a cup of water to drink, because you belong to Christ: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

41 And whoever will have scandalized one of these little ones who believe in me: it would be better for him if a great millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

42 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life disabled, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire,

43 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.

44 But if your foot causes you to sin, chop it off: it is better for you to enter into eternal life lame, than having two feet to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire,

45 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.

46 But if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the Hell of fire,

47 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.

48 For all shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be salted with salt.

49 Salt is good: but if the salt has become bland, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace among yourselves.”
