LORD IF I SPEAK MY CASE

-
"LORD, if I argued my case with you,
you would prove to be right.
Yet I must question you about
matters of justice.

Why are the wicked so prosperous?
Why do dishonest people succeed?
You plant them, they take root;
they grow and bear fruit.

They always speak well of you,
yet they do not really care about you.
But, LORD, you know me;
you see what I do,
and how I love you. Jer. 12:1-3

BE CURED

Prayer before Mass:  Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the sacrament of Your only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Lord, in Your great generosity, heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. May I receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the determined purpose that will help   to bring me to salvation.  May I receive the sacrament of the Lord’s Body and Blood, and its reality and power.  Kind God, may I receive the Body of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of the Virgin Mary, and so be received into His mystical body and numbered among His members.  Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrima...

LUNDI 19E SEMAINE DU TEMPS ORDINAIRE: AELF La gloire du Seigneur Première Lecture Ézéchiel 1,2-5.24-2,1  La vision d'Ézéchiel de la gloire du Seigneur Le cinq du mois, la cinquième année de la déportation du roi Jékonias, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Ézékiel, fils du prêtre Bouzi, dans le pays des Chaldéens, au bord du fleuve Kebar.  La main du Seigneur se posa sur lui. J’ai vu : un vent de tempête venant du nord, un gros nuage, un feu jaillissant et, autour, une clarté ; au milieu, comme un scintillement de vermeil du milieu du feu. Au milieu, la forme de quatre Vivants ; elle paraissait une forme humaine. Ils avaient chacun quatre faces et chacun quatre ailes. J’entendis le bruit de leurs ailes, pareil, quand ils marchaient, au bruit des grandes eaux, pareil à la voix du Puissant, une rumeur comme celle d’une armée. Lorsqu’ils s’arrêtaient, ils laissaient retomber leurs ailes. On entendit un bruit venant de plus haut que le firmament qui était au-dessus de leu...

HE EXISTED BEFORE ME

First Reading 1 John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ  he is the liar, he is Antichrist; and he is denying the Father as well as the Son, because no one who has the Father can deny the Son, and to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father as well. Keep alive in yourselves what you were taught in the beginning: as long as what you were taught in the beginning is alive in you, you will live in the Son and in the Father; and what is promised to you by his own promise is eternal life. This is all that I am writing to you about the people who are trying to lead you astray. But you have not lost the anointing that he gave you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; the anointing he gave teaches you everything; you are anointed with truth, not with a lie, and as it has taught you, so you must stay in him. Live in Christ, then, my children, so that if he appears, we may have full confidence, and not turn from him...
