Paul discussed faith in Jesus in today’s first reading. You can’t go through life just following the rules and laws of the Bible and not have faith. Faith gets you to heaven.

In the gospel, Jesus said that He is doing the will of the Father when He drives out demons, it is not by the devil. He explains the division that would need to exist for the alternative. Jesus said that if there is division in a house, it will be destroyed. Abraham Lincoln said it as a house divided cannot stand.
Today is the day Catholics celebrate the life and contributions of St John the 23rd, pope. He started the second Vatican council. Our modern church times and traditions are due to St John the 23rd.
