Wednesday Prayer Feast of St. Mathew the Apostle and Evangelist

Come let us worship the Lord, the King of apostles

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. 1     My commandment is this: love one another as I have loved you
 
Psalm 36              The malice of sinners and God’s goodness

Transgression speaks to the sinner, in the depths of his heart.
There is no fear of God, before his eyes.

In his own eyes, he flatters himself, not to see and detest his own guilt.
The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit.  He has ceased to be prudent and do good.

In bed he plots iniquity.  He sets his foot on every wicked way;
no evil does he reject.

Your mercy, Lord, reaches to heaven, your truth to the clouds,
your righteousness is like God’s mountain; like the great deep, your justice.
Both man and beast you save, O Lord……..

psalm 19

Ant. 2   Ant. 2      There is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friends
               
Judit 16:1-2, 13-15            God who created the world takes care of his people

Entonnez un cantique pour mon Dieu avec des tambourins, chantez le Seigneur sur les cymbales,
Composez pour lui un psaume de louange exaltez et invoquez son nom.

Car c’est un Dieu qui brise les guerres que le Seigneur,
lui qui place ses camps au milieu du peuple, il m’a arrachée a la main de ceux qui
me poursuivaient……………

 Ant.3     You are my friends, says the Lord, if you do what I command you

Psalm 47              The Lord Jesus is King of all

All people, clap your hands. Cry to God with shout of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome, the great king over all the earth.

He humbles peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
Our heritage he chose for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

God goes up with shouts of joy.  The Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
Sing praise for God, sing praise! God reigns over the nations.
God sits upon the holy throne.

The princes of the peoples are assembled, with the people of Abraham’s God.
The rulers of the earth belong to God, who is greatly exalted.

Reading You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord: in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.      Eph. 2:19-20

Prayer  God of mercy, you choose a tax collector, Saint Mathew, to share the dignity of the apostles.  By his example and prayers help us to follow Christ and remain faithful in your service. We ask 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 Lord, watch over us by day and by night.  In the midst of life’s countless changes, strengthen us with you never changing love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

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...

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...

ALLÉLUIA. ALLÉLUIA! VOICI LE JOUR QUE FIT LE SEIGNEUR: AELF Alléluia, alléluia, alléluia Première Lecture Actes  2,14.22-33 « Ce Jésus, Dieu l’a ressuscité ; nous tous, nous en sommes témoins »  Le jour de la Pentecôte, Pierre, debout avec les onze autres Apôtres, éleva la voix et leur fit cette déclaration : « Vous, Juifs, et vous tous qui résidez à Jérusalem, sachez bien ceci, prêtez l’oreille à mes paroles. Il s’agit de Jésus le Nazaréen, homme que Dieu a accrédité auprès de vous en accomplissant par lui des miracles, des prodiges et des signes au milieu de vous, comme vous le savez vous-mêmes. Cet homme, livré selon le dessein bien arrêté et la prescience de Dieu, vous l’avez supprimé en le clouant sur le bois par la main des impies. » Mais Dieu l’a ressuscité en le délivrant des douleurs de la mort, car il n’était pas possible qu’elle le retienne en son pouvoir. En effet, c’est de lui que parle David dans le psaume : Je voyais le Seigneur devant moi sans relâche :...
