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 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
