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. 1     Praise the Lord, for his loving kindness will never fail, alleluia

Psalm 118

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is 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 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…..

Ant. 2     Alleluia! Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, alleluia!

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 glory, to be highly praised and glorified for ever.
Blest are you on 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.
Blest are you in the firmament of heavens, to be praised and highly glorified for ever.
Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.


Ant. 3     Let everything that breathes, gives praise to the Lord, alleluia

Psalm 150

Praise God in his holy place.
Praise him in his mighty firmament.
Praise him for his powerful deeds,
Praise him for his boundless grandeur.

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

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

Prayer
Lord, our help and guide, make your love the foundation of our lives.  May our love for you express itself in our eagerness to do good for others. Grant this through Christ our Lord  Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, on God, for ever and ever.

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 ...

WHO ARE YOU?

I AM NOT THE CHRIST   First Reading 1John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything Beloved: Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well. Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life. I write you these things about those who would deceive you. As for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, so that you do not need anyone to teach you. But his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false; just as it taught you, remain in him. And now, children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be put to shame by him at his coming. Responsorial Psalm: ...
