Psalm 63:2-9 A soul thirsting for God

O God, you are my God; at dawn I seek you, for you my soul is thirsting.

For you my flesh is pining, like a dry, weary land without water.

I have come before you in the holy place, to behold your strength and your glory.

Your loving mercy is better than life, my lips will speak your praise.

I will bless you all my life, in your name I will lift up my hand.

My soul shall be filled as with a banquet; with joyful my mouth shall praise you.

When I remember you upon my bed, I muse on you through the watches of the night.

For you have been my strength, in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.

The year is gone beyond recall

Ant. 3 Let the people of Zion rejoice in their King, alleluia

Sing a new song to the Lord, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

Let Israel rejoice in its Maker, let Zion’s children exult in their king.

Let them praise his name with dancing, and make music with timbrel and harp.

For the Lord takes delight in his people, he crowns the poor with salvation.

Let the faithful rejoice in glory, shout with joy on their couches.

Let the praise of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand.

Prayer Almighty and ever-living God, our source of power and inspiration, give us strength and joy in serving you as followers of Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Alt Prayer Lord our God, Father of all, you guard us under the shadow of your wings and search into the depths of our hearts. Remove the blindness that cannot know you and relieve the fear that would hide us from your sight. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

They are happy
psalm 23

Livre de l’Exode

En ces jours-là, le peuple d’Israël marchait à travers le désert. Les Amalécites survinrent et attaquèrent Israël à Rephidim. Moïse dit alors à Josué : « Choisis des hommes, et va combattre les Amalécites. Moi, demain, je me tiendrai sur le sommet de la colline, le bâton de Dieu à la main. » Josué fit ce que Moïse avait dit : il mena le combat contre les Amalécites. Moïse, Aaron et Hur étaient montés au sommet de la colline. Quand Moïse tenait la main levée, Israël était le plus fort. Quand il la laissait retomber, Malec était le plus fort. Mais les mains de Moïse s’alourdissaient ; on prit une pierre, on la plaça derrière lui, et il s’assit dessus. Aaron et Hur lui soutenaient les mains, l’un d’un côté, l’autre de l’autre ainsi les mains de Moïse restèrent fermes jusqu’au coucher du soleil. Et Josué triompha des Amalécites au fil de l’épée.

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: ...
