THE GOSPEL MUST NOT BE KEPT HIDDEN

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME


sole hope of the world
here I am Lord

                                                                                                     
                                                        Prayer
O Jesus Christ, Divine Master, I thank and bless your loving Heart for the great gift of the Holy Eucharist. Your love makes you dwell in our tabernacles, to renew your passion and death in the Mass, to give yourself as food for our souls in Holy Communion.

May I come to know you, O hidden God. May I drink from the fount of living waters that flow from your Heart. Grant me to visit you every day in this holy sacrament; to assist at holy Mass with understanding, to receive you in holy communion often and with the proper disposition. May all men respond to your invitation, “Come to me all you who are burdened.”




 
AT THE LAMB'S HIGH FEAST
 
The gospel must not be kept hidden because of fear or indifference.  It was never meant to be hidden away in private.  It has to be put on a stand so that people may see its light and give praise to our heavenly Father (Pope (Saint) John Paul II).
 
Prayer
Holy Spirit, bring Jesus’ promise to my heart today, Help me to believe and to have hope that the Father’s love will dwell richly in my heart. May your presence within me become my guiding light, and may your love shine out to everyone I meet today.

Lord, teach me how to love selflessly! May I bear witness to the power of your Cross by loving more perfectly those who, like me, are less than perfect.

God’s Love
Lord God, your love is pure! Holy Spirit, please purify my heart and set it ablaze with your mercy and compassion.  Fill me with a love that doesn’t count the cost or seek rewards, a love that is patient, kind, and gentle.  Burn away my jealousy and anger, and put to death all within me that is prideful, rude and self-seeking.  I lay my life before you, Lord. With your help, I want to become more and more loving.  Make me like you, Lord Jesus.  
                                                                                                                                                 Abide in my Word

HE EXISTED BEFORE ME

First Reading 1 John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ  he is the liar, he is Antichrist; and he is denying the Father as well as the Son, because no one who has the Father can deny the Son, and to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father as well. Keep alive in yourselves what you were taught in the beginning: as long as what you were taught in the beginning is alive in you, you will live in the Son and in the Father; and what is promised to you by his own promise is eternal life. This is all that I am writing to you about the people who are trying to lead you astray. But you have not lost the anointing that he gave you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; the anointing he gave teaches you everything; you are anointed with truth, not with a lie, and as it has taught you, so you must stay in him. Live in Christ, then, my children, so that if he appears, we may have full confidence, and not turn from him...

GOD'S GIFTS

GOD'S GIFT Mathew 25:14-30 Jesus spoke this parable to his disciples: ‘The kingdom of Heaven is like a man on his way abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one; each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out. ‘The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more. The man who had received two made two more in the same way. But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. ‘Now a long time after, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. “Sir,” he said “you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made.” ‘His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have shown you can be faithful in small things, I will trust you with greater; co...

BE CURED

Prayer before Mass:  Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the sacrament of Your only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Lord, in Your great generosity, heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. May I receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the determined purpose that will help   to bring me to salvation.  May I receive the sacrament of the Lord’s Body and Blood, and its reality and power.  Kind God, may I receive the Body of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of the Virgin Mary, and so be received into His mystical body and numbered among His members.  Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrima...
