SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING


CHRIST THE KING - LAST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME


MY PRAYER

That each day I draw closer to you Lord
That each day my heart be like that of my Lord Jesus Christ
That each day I grow in holiness
That each day cares and worries do
not take control of my life
That each day my knowledge of you increases
That each day I see you in all creatures
That each day I grow in humility.

My prayer to you Lord that I am what you desire me to be.

LAST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

CHRIST THE KING

Invitatory:           Lord, open my lips

Ant.                        Come, let us worship Christ,  the King of kings

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.  A man will come whose name is the Dayspring;
         from his throne he will rule over all; he will speak of peace to the nations
 
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.

ALLELUAH
Ant. 2     They will sing his priases to the ends of the earth, and he will be their peace

Cant. Daniel 3:57-86

Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Heavens, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.

Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
All waters above the heavens, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.

All powers of the Lord, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Sun and moon, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.

Stars of heaven, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever.
Every shower and dew, bless the Lord, praise and highly exalt him for ever……

Ant. 3     The Lord will give him power and honour and kingship; all peoples,
               tribes and nations will serve him

Psalm 149

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.

Chantez pour le Seigneur un chant nouveau: chantez sa louange dans l’assemblée des fidèles
Qu’Israël se réjouisse de son Auteur, que les fils de Sion fêtent leur roi.
Qu’ils louent son nom par la danse, qu’ils jouent pour lui du tambour et de la cithare

Car le Seigneur favorise son peuple, il pare de victoire les humbles.
Que les fidèles exultent en rendant gloire, que sur leurs nattes ils cirent de joie.
Exaltant Dieu a pleine gosier, tenant en main l’épée a deux tranchants.
Tirer vengeance des nations et châtier les peuples, enchainer leur rois,
exécuter contre eux la sentence écrite, c’est l’honneur de tous ses fidèles !

AT THE THE LAMB'S HIGH FEAST 

Reflection:           Eph. 4: 15-16

Living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body’s growth and builds itself up in love.

Responsory:        Your Saints, O Lord, will tell of the glory of your kingdom.
                


Benedictus Ant:  He fashioned us into a kingdom for the glory of his God and Father;  he is the
                              firstbone of the dead and the leader of all the kings of the earth, alleluia

Prayer:                 Almighty and merciful God, you break the power of evil and make all things new in
                             your Son Jesus Christ, the king of the universe.  May all in heaven and earth proclaim 
                             your glory and never cease to praise you.  We ask this through 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: ...
