ORDINARY TIME AND LENT YEAR C

SECOND SUNDAY TO FIFTH SUNDAY IN  ORDINARY TIME


2nd Sunday in ordinary time Gospel was on the Wedding in Cana of Galilee where Jesus, and his mother were invited.  His first miracle was performed by the request of his Holy Mother.

I believe Jesus want us to know the importance of obedience to out parents and equally to let us know that he will do anything for us if we get his mother involved.

3rd Sunday Jesus by reading the book of Isaiah in the synagogue showed us his manifestos (his plan of Action).  This he began in collaboration with the Holy Spirit.

4th Sunday Jesus met with opposition from the elders and his own people who under estimated his power, his  capability, and his ability.

We too are expected to be opened in receiving the word of God, if we are bias because we are familiar with who ever God have appointed to lead us, we will miss out.  It equally applies to our ordinary lives in dealing with each other and having respect for   
                                                      people irrespective of status and background.



5th Sunday Jesus got into a boat and  taught the crowd, he then recruited his first apostles after teaching the crowd.  In all the readings 1st and 2nd reading and the Gospel, we saw God's Mercy toward sinners.  All those called acknowledged their frailties and weaknesses as sinners.  This will then usher us to LENT,  encourage us to know  that God is always on the look out for us.  We should go to him in confidence in our weaknesses we will find strength.

ASH WEDNESDAY BEGINNING OF LENT

TEACH ME RESPECT


Help me, Lord,
To thank you every day for all the gifts you have given me.
Teach me to recognise my own limitations,
To refine myself and develop all my abilities,
not to waste or squander them.
Help me to respect myself and others.
I need patience with myself, with my family and friends.
Help me Lord.

Turn to me and be converted from all your crimes, that they may be no cause of guilt for you.
 Cast away from you all the crimes you have committed, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit.  Why should you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies, says the Lord God.  Return and live.  Ezekiel 18:30-32

SAMEDI - SEMAINE DES CENDRES: AELF Montre-moi ton chemin, Seigneur, ECFR :Première Lecture  Isaïe  58,9b-14  Tu seras comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais Ainsi parle le Seigneur : Si tu fais disparaître de chez toi le joug, le geste accusateur, la parole malfaisante, si tu donnes à celui qui a faim ce que toi, tu désires, et si tu combles les désirs du malheureux, ta lumière se lèvera dans les ténèbres et ton obscurité sera lumière de midi.   Le Seigneur sera toujours ton guide. En plein désert, il comblera tes désirs et te rendra vigueur. Tu seras comme un jardin bien irrigué, comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais. Tu rebâtiras les ruines anciennes, tu restaureras les fondations séculaires. On t’appellera : « Celui qui répare les brèches », « Celui qui remet en service les chemins ». Si tu t’abstiens de voyager le jour du sabbat, de traiter tes affaires pendant mon jour saint, si tu nommes « délices » le sabbat et déclares « glorieux » le jour saint du Seig

12E DIMANCHE DUTEMPS ORDINAIRE PEE La grâce divine venant d’un seul homme Premier Lecture Jérémie 20, 10-13 « Il a délivré le malheureux de la main des méchants » Moi Jérémie, j’entends les calomnies de la foule : « Dénoncez-le ! Allons le dénoncer, celui-là, l’Épouvante-de-tous-côtés. » Tous mes amis guettent mes faux pas, ils disent : « Peut-être se laissera-t‑il séduire… Nous réussirons, et nous prendrons sur lui notre revanche ! » Mais le Seigneur est avec moi, tel un guerrier redoutable : mes persécuteurs trébucheront, ils ne réussiront pas. Leur défaite les couvrira de honte, d’une confusion éternelle, inoubliable.  Seigneur de l’univers, toi qui scrutes l’homme juste, toi qui vois les reins et les cœurs, fais-moi voir la revanche que tu leur infligeras, car c’est à toi que j’ai remis ma cause. Chantez le Seigneur, louez le Seigneur : il a délivré le malheureux de la main des méchants. Seconde lecture Romains 5, 12-15  Le don gratuit de Dieu et la faute n’ont pas la même mesur

FRIDAY WEEK 8 IN ORDINATY TIME Universalis ‘Have faith in God Reading Ecclesiasticus 44:1,9-13 Let us praise illustrious men Let us praise illustrious men, our ancestors in their successive generations. Some have left no memory, and disappeared as though they had not existed, they are now as though they had never been, and so too, their children after them. But here is a list of generous men whose good works have not been forgotten. In their descendants there remains a rich inheritance born of them. Their descendants stand by the covenants and, thanks to them, so do their children’s children. Their offspring will last for ever, their glory will not fade Gospel Mark 11:11-26  The fig tree; the cleansing of the Temple After he had been acclaimed by the crowds, Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple. He looked all round him, but as it was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve. CDR Next day as they were leaving Bethany, he felt hungry. Seeing a fig tree in leaf some
