Jesus taught His disciples how to pray ….

First, we read Jesus and His Sacred Teachings with Tradition teach me, you all how to pray on Catholic Catechism:

CCC 2759 Jesus “was praying at a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’”1 In response to this request the Lord entrusts to his disciples and to his Church the fundamental Christian prayer. St. Luke presents a brief text of five petitions,2 while St. Matthew gives a more developed version of seven petitions.3 The liturgical tradition of the Church has retained St. Matthew’s text:

💜 Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
💜

1 Lk 11:1.
2 Cf. Lk 11:2-4.
3 Cf. Mt 6:9-13.

This is High Priestly Prayer of Jesus Christ on John 17 USCCB.

Almost 2,000 years ago, Jesus prays for me, you all are divine call “next generations of Jesus Christ”.

John 17:20-23 Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,🤟💜🙏🕊️🔥21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 🤟🙏💜🕊️🔥📿

The early Church proclaimed the same truth, as is evident in St. Ignatius of Antioch, who wrote in the second “there is one God, who has manifested Himself by Jesus Christ His Son” (Letter to the Magnesians 8:1).

Jesus cleanses the temple …

The Cleansing of the Temple demonstrates The New Covenant quote from The Old Covenant on John 2:13-25 from Malachi 3:1-3 roughly 400 years messianic fulfillment.

John 2:13-25 NABRE Cleansing of the Temple.

The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” The Jews then said to him, “What sign have you to show us for doing this?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he spoke of the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did; but Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Malachi 3:1-3 The Messenger of the Covenant

Now I am sending my messenger—
    he will prepare the way before me;
And the lord whom you seek will come suddenly to his temple;
The messenger of the covenant whom you desire—
    see, he is coming! says the Lord of hosts.
But who can endure the day of his coming?
    Who can stand firm when he appears?
For he will be like a refiner’s fire,
    like fullers’ lye.
He will sit refining and purifying silver,
    and he will purify the Levites,
Refining them like gold or silver,
    that they may bring offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

Jesus cleanses the temple on Matthew 21:12-17, Mark 11:15-18, Luke 19:45-47, John 2:14-16

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
SECOND EDITION

JESUS AND THE TEMPLE

583 Like the prophets before him Jesus expressed the deepest respect for the Temple in Jerusalem. It was in the Temple that Joseph and Mary presented him forty days after his birth.349 At the age of twelve he decided to remain in the Temple to remind his parents that he must be about his Father’s business.350 He went there each year during his hidden life at least for Passover.351 His public ministry itself was patterned by his pilgrimages to Jerusalem for the great Jewish feasts.352

584 Jesus went up to the Temple as the privileged place of encounter with God. For him, the Temple was the dwelling of his Father, a house of prayer, and he was angered that its outer court had become a place of commerce.353 He drove merchants out of it because of jealous love for his Father: “You shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade. His disciples remembered that it was written, ‘Zeal for your house will consume me.'”354 After his Resurrection his apostles retained their reverence for the Temple.355

Matthew 16:18 NABRE footnote elaborates

You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church: the Aramaic word kēpā’ meaning rock and transliterated into Greek as Kēphas is the name by which Peter is called in the Pauline letters (1 Cor 1:123:229:515:4Gal 1:182:91114) except in Gal 2:7–8 (“Peter”). It is translated as Petros (“Peter”) in Jn 1:42. The presumed original Aramaic of Jesus’ statement would have been, in English, “You are the Rock (Kēpā’) and upon this rock (kēpā’) I will build my church.” The Greek text probably means the same, for the difference in gender between the masculine noun petros, the disciple’s new name, and the feminine noun petra(rock) may be due simply to the unsuitability of using a feminine noun as the proper name of a male. Although the two words were generally used with slightly different nuances, they were also used interchangeably with the same meaning, “rock.” Church: this word (Greek ekklēsia) occurs in the gospels only here and in Mt 18:17 (twice). There are several possibilities for an Aramaic original. Jesus’ church means the community that he willgather and that, like a building, will have Peter as its solid foundation. That function of Peter consists in his being witness to Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. The gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it: the netherworld (Greek Hadēs, the abode of the dead) is conceived of as a walled city whose gates will not close in upon the church of Jesus, i.e., it will not be overcome by the power of death.

Why do we celebrate the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter?

The “chair” to which this feast refers is the cathedra, or office, of the Apostle Peter. Given by Christ to St. Peter (Matthew 16:13-18), Peter’s supreme pastoral office is passed to each of his successors as Bishop of Rome, that is, where Peter last served and where he died a martyr. 👇(continued below)*👇

After his baptism, Jesus sets off for a forty-days ….

An illustration of Jesus baptized by John the Baptist (immerser) on Mark 1 and also, Matthew 3-4 and Luke 3 Chapter toward Chapter 4:1-13.

Matthew 4 Messianic Fulfillment. Please click The Temptation of Jesus.

This above excellent book I recommend you all this question to be excellent answer by From Walking with God: A Journey through the Bible by Tim Gray and Jeff Cavins.

Question: How would the Jews interpret Jesus’ forty days in the Judean wilderness?

Answer: After his baptism, Jesus sets off for a forty-days retreat in the Judean wilderness. Led by the Spirit, Jesus fasts and prays, and at the end he is tested by the devil. The number forty evokes Israel’s forty-year sojourn in the wilderness, where they also were led by the Spirit. Jesus’ fasting is reminiscent of Moses’ forty-day fast on Mount Sinai. But above all, three tests by Satan uses to tempt Jesus echo the testing of Israel in the wilderness. In response to each of the devil’s temptations, the gospel of Matthew details Jesus quoting Deuteronomy, in which Moses recounts Israel’s failures in the wilderness and its spiritual lessons (Matthew 4:4, 4:7, 4:10, and Deuteronomy 8:10, 6:16, 6:13, respectively). This points to the larger picture Matthew is painting: how Israel’s story and Jesus’ story share a profound parellel. Matthew suggests that Jesus is not only a new Moses; he is the new Israel. Precisely where God’s firstborn son Israel (Exodus 4:22) stumbled in the wilderness, Jesus is faithful; the vocation and storyline of Israel finds its long-waited fulfillment, in the person of Jesus, God’s faithful firstborn Son. 🤟📿🙏📿🙏💜🕊️🔥✡️✝️🕊️🔥🙏

Update on March 17, 2024 🍀☘️💚🤟🙏🕊️💚🔥📿

I read on Matthew 28:16-20 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition and learn something about “Jesus and His Baptism”.

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.”

All the Old Covenant prefigurations find their fulfillment in Christ Jesus. He begins his public life after having himself baptized by St. John the Baptist in the Jordan.* After his resurrection Christ gives this mission to his apostles: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”* – The Sacrament of Baptism, CCC 1223

Christians are baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”* Before receiving the sacrament, they respond to a three-part question when asked to confess the Father, the Son, and the Spirit: “I do.” “The faith of all Christians rests on the Trinity.”* – I. “In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”, CCC 232

*Matthew 28:19 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

The first “profession of faith” is made during Baptism. The symbol of faith is first and foremost the baptismal creed. Since Baptism is given “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”* the truths of faith professed during Baptism are articulated in terms of their reference to the three persons of the Holy Trinity. – The Creed, CCC 189

Matthew 28:19-20 refers Mark 16:15

And he (Jesus) said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. – Mark 16:15

The Resurrection of Jesus

16 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag′dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salo′me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.[a] And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Mag′dalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went out and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

12 After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

Jesus Commissions the Disciples

14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”🤟🙏💜🔥🕊️📿

The Ascension of Jesus

19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.[b][c]

Footnotes

  1. 16.1 There had been no time on the Friday to anoint him before the sabbath rest.
  2. Mark 16:20 Other ancient authorities omit verses 9–20. Some ancient authorities conclude Mark instead with the following: But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all that they had been told. And after this, Jesus himself sent out by means of them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.
  3. 16.9-20 This passage is regarded as inspired and canonical scripture even if not written by Mark. As it is missing from some important manuscripts, it is possible that Mark did not write it. On the other hand, he would hardly have left his Gospel unfinished at verse 8. Many think that the original ending was lost at a very early date and that this ending was composed at the end of the apostolic period to take its place.
