SIXTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME
Mon.Mrk.8:11-13...Haven’t I done enough to show who I am? It isn’t that the signs are not there it is just that they do not want to see them.. why do the strangers believe and my own people do not?

On the night before I die I will give them the “loaf of bread”...they probably did not understand what I was referring to when I said “ beware of the leaven of the Pharisees”, the leaven which could not be used on the
