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

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
