MARY, MOTHER OF GOD JANUARY 1ST

Ant. Let us celebrate the motherhood of the Virgin Mary, let us worship her Son, Christ the Lord.

Come to me beloved
 The year is gone beyond recall

Ant.        The Virgin has given birth to the Saviour: a flower has sprung from Jesse’s stock
               and a star has risen from Jacob, O God, we praise you.

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.

Ant. 2     Mary has given birth to our Saviour. John the Baptist saw him and cried out: This is the Lamb of God; who takes away the sins of the world.

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     Mary has given birth to a King whose name is everlasting; hers the joy of motherhood,
             hers the Virgin’s glory. Never was the like seen before, never shall it be seen again, alleluia.

Psalm 149

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 !

Reading :  The ruler in Israel will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has born, and the rest
of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel.  He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the Lord in the majestic name of the Lord, his God.  He shall be peace.  Mi 5:2,3a,4a

Prayer:   God our Father, may we always profit by the prayers of the Virgin Mother Mary, for you bring us life and
                salvation through Jesus Christ her 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
