Liturgical Day: Tuesday February 17
    Gospel (Mk 8, 14-21): At that time, the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and did not carry on one loaf boat. Jesus made them this warning: "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod." They talked among themselves that they had no bread. Realizing said to them, "Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you not yet understand not you understand? Do they have the dull mind? Having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear ye not? Do you not remember when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand? How many baskets full of pieces did you take up? ". "Twelve," he said. "And when I broke the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you take up?" I say, "Seven." He continued: "Do you still not understand?".
