Exodus 21
1These are the ordinances* you shall lay before them.
2a When you purchase a Hebrew slave,* he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year he shall leave as a free person without any payment.
3If he comes into service alone, he shall leave alone; if he comes with a wife, his wife shall leave with him.
4But if his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children belong to her master and the man shall leave alone.
5If, however, the slave declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I will not leave as a free person,’
6his master shall bring him to God* and there, at the door or doorpost, he shall pierce his ear with an awl, thus keeping him as his slave forever.
7When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do.
8But if she displeases her master, who had designated her* for himself, he shall let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her.
9If he designates her for his son, he shall treat her according to the ordinance for daughters.
10If he takes another wife, he shall not withhold her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights.
11If he does not do these three things for her, she may leave without cost, without any payment.
12* Whoever strikes someone a mortal blow must be put to death.b
13However, regarding the one who did not hunt another down, but God caused death to happen by his hand, I will set apart for you a place to which that one may flee.
14But when someone kills a neighbor after maliciously scheming to do so, you must take him even from my altar and put him to death.
15Whoever strikes father or mother shall be put to death.*
16A kidnapper, whether he sells the person or the person is found in his possession, shall be put to death.c
17Whoever curses* father or mother shall be put to death.d
18When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, not mortally, but enough to put him in bed,
19the one who struck the blow shall be acquitted, provided the other can get up and walk around with the help of his staff. Still, he must compensate him for his recovery time and make provision for his complete healing.
20When someone strikes his male or female slave with a rod so that the slave dies under his hand, the act shall certainly be avenged.
21If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.
22* When men have a fight and hurt a pregnant woman, so that she suffers a miscarriage, but no further injury, the guilty one shall be fined as much as the woman’s husband demands of him, and he shall pay in the presence of the judges.
23e But if injury ensues, you shall give life for life,
24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26When someone strikes his male or female slave in the eye and destroys the use of the eye, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the eye.
27If he knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the tooth.
28When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must be stoned; its meat may not be eaten. The owner of the ox, however, shall be free of blame.
29But if an ox was previously in the habit of goring people and its owner, though warned, would not watch it; should it then kill a man or a woman, not only must the ox be stoned, but its owner also must be put to death.
30If, however, a fine is imposed on him, he must pay in ransom* for his life whatever amount is imposed on him.
31This ordinance applies if it is a boy or a girl that the ox gores.
32But if it is a male or a female slave that it gores, he must pay the owner of the slave thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must be stoned.
33When someone uncovers or digs a cistern and does not cover it over again, should an ox or a donkey fall into it,
34the owner of the cistern must make good by restoring the value of the animal to its owner, but the dead animal he may keep.
35When one man’s ox hurts another’s ox and it dies, they shall sell the live ox and divide this money as well as the dead animal equally between them.
36But if it was known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner would not watch it, he must make full restitution, an ox for an ox; but the dead animal he may keep.
37When someone steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for the one ox, and four sheep for the one sheep.f

Exodus 22
[If a thief is caught* in the act of housebreaking and beaten to death, there is no bloodguilt involved.
2But if after sunrise he is thus beaten, there is bloodguilt.] He must make full restitution. If he has nothing, he shall be sold to pay for his theft.
3If what he stole is found alive in his possession, be it an ox, a donkey or a sheep, he shall make twofold restitution.
4When someone causes a field or a vineyard to be grazed over, by sending his cattle to graze in another’s field, he must make restitution with the best produce of his own field or vineyard.
5If a fire breaks out, catches on to thorn bushes, and consumes shocked grain, standing grain, or the field itself, the one who started the fire must make full restitution.
6When someone gives money or articles to another for safekeeping and they are stolen from the latter’s house, the thief, if caught, must make twofold restitution.
7If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house shall be brought to God,* to swear that he himself did not lay hands on his neighbor’s property.
8In every case of dishonest appropriation, whether it be about an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, or a garment, or anything else that has disappeared, where another claims that the thing is his, the claim of both parties shall be brought before God; the one whom God convicts must make twofold restitution to the other.
9When someone gives an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any other animal to another for safekeeping, if it dies, or is maimed or snatched away, without anyone witnessing the fact,
10there shall be an oath before the LORD between the two of them that the guardian did not lay hands on his neighbor’s property; the owner must accept the oath, and no restitution is to be made.
11But if the guardian has actually stolen from it, then he must make restitution to the owner.
12If it has been killed by a wild beast, let him bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the mangled animal.a
13When someone borrows an animal from a neighbor, if it is maimed or dies while the owner is not present, that one must make restitution.
14But if the owner is present, that one need not make restitution. If it was hired, this was covered by the price of its hire.
15b When a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall make her his wife by paying the bride price.
16If her father refuses to give her to him, he must still pay him the bride price for virgins.*
17You shall not let a woman who practices sorcery live.c
18Anyone who lies with an animal shall be put to death.d
19Whoever sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD alone, shall be put under the ban.e
20You shall not oppress or afflict a resident alien, for you were once aliens residing in the land of Egypt.f
21You shall not wrong any widow or orphan.
22If ever you wrong them and they cry out to me, I will surely listen to their cry.
23My wrath will flare up, and I will kill you with the sword; then your own wives will be widows, and your children orphans.
24g If you lend money to my people, the poor among you, you must not be like a money lender; you must not demand interest from them.
25If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, you shall return it to him before sunset;
26for this is his only covering; it is the cloak for his body. What will he sleep in? If he cries out to me, I will listen; for I am compassionate.h
27You shall not despise God,* nor curse a leader of your people.i
28You shall not delay the offering of your harvest and your press. You shall give me the firstborn of your sons.
29You must do the same with your oxen and your sheep; for seven days the firstling may stay with its mother, but on the eighth day you must give it to me.j
30You shall be a people sacred to me. Flesh torn to pieces in the field you shall not eat; you must throw it to the dogs.k

Mark 12 :1-17
Parable of the Tenants.*
1He began to speak to them in parables.a “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey.b
2At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard.
3But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4Again he sent them another servant. And that one they beat over the head and treated shamefully.
5He sent yet another whom they killed. So, too, many others; some they beat, others they killed.
6He had one other to send, a beloved son. He sent him to them last of all, thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’
7But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8So they seized him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9What [then] will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come, put the tenants to death, and give the vineyard to others.
10Have you not read this scripture passage:c
‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
11by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes’?”
12They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd, for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them. So they left him and went away.
13* They sent some Phariseesd and Herodians to him to ensnare hime in his speech.*
14They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion. You do not regard a person’s status but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?”
15Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.”
16They brought one to him and he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied to him, “Caesar’s.”
17So Jesus said to them, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” They were utterly amazed at him.f

Rosary Mysteries
The following 4 videos are the 4 Mysteries that we pray on certain days of the week. I like these videos, because I can pray it alone, with only the images, or go along with the sound.
The images help me to focus on the particular mystery that I am contemplating as I say the Hail Mary on each bead.
Pray on Mondays Joyful, on Tuesdays Sorrowful, on Wednesdays Glorious, on Thursdays Luminous, on Fridays Sorrowful, on Saturdays Joyful, on Sundays Glorious Mysteries in union with millions of faithful believers on this Earth.

The Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried,
He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
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. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
(this prayer is optional and may be said after all Glory Be to the Fathers…..)
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of thy mercy.
Console the souls in Purgatory, particularly those most abandoned. Amen
Hail Mary,
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The Hail, Holy Queen
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
That we maybe made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Closing Prayer
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation.
Grant, we beseech Thee, that while meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
that we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
(The Fatima Prayer:)
Most Holy Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – I adore thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference’s whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.
Prayer to St. Michael
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
