26TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C

SUNDAY WEEK II

Invitatory:           Lord, open my lips

O God come to my assistance. Lord make haste to help me.

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. Alleluia

Ant.     Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, alleluia

Psalm118             A song of victory

Give thanks to the Lord, for His good, his mercy endures for ever.
Let the house of Israel say, His mercy endures for ever.
Let the house of Aaron say, His mercy endures for ever.
Let those who fear the Lord say, His mercy endures for ever.

I called to the Lord in my distress, he has answered and freed me.
The Lord is at my side; I do not fear. What can man do against me?
The Lord is at my side as my helper, I shall look in triumph on my foes.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to trust in princes………

psalm 13

Ant. 2     Let us sing hymns of praise to our God, alleluia

Cant. Daniel 3:52-57

Blest are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, to be praised and highly exalted for ever.
Blest is your glorious and holy name, to be highly praised and exalted for ever.

Blest are you in the temple of your holy glory, to be highly praised and exalted for ever.
Blest are you in the throne of your kingdom, to be praised and highly exalted for ever.

Blest are you who look into the depths, seated upon the cherubim,
to be praised and highly exalted for ever…..

Ant. 3     Praise the Lord for his infinite greatness, alleluia

Praise the Lord in his holy place, praise him in his mighty firmament.
Praise him for his powerful deeds, praise him for his boundless splendour.

O praise him with sound of trumpet, praise him with lute and harps.
Praise him with timbrel and dance, praise him with strings and pipes

O praise him resounding cymbals, praise him with clashing of cymbals.
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.

Prayer  Father, you show your almighty power in your mercy and forgiveness.  Continue to fill us  with your gifts of love.  Help us to hurry towards the eternal life you promise and come to share in the joys of your kingdom.  Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Prayer  Father of everlasting goodness, our origin and guide, be close to us and hear our prayer of all who praise you.  Forgive our sins and restore us to life. Keep us safe in your love. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Evening Prayer Let your Word, Father be a lamp for our feet and a light to our path, so that we may understand what you wish to teach us and follow the path your light marks out for us.

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter  'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading  Acts 6:1-7  They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide -   ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1  'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28  I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
