 Readings & Reflections: Saturday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time & Saint Gregory the Great, September 3,2016 | PagadianDiocese.orgMake no mistake about it: if any  one of you thinks of himself as wise, in the ordinary sense of the world, then he must learn to be a fool before he really can be wise. Why? Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As scripture says: The Lord knows wise men's thoughts: he knows how useless they are; or again: God is not convinced by the arguments of the wise. So there is nothing to boast about in anything human: Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life and death, the present and the future, are all your servants; but you belong to Christ and Christ belong to God.  Pope Gregory

 Luke 5:1-11 - Fishing with Jesus | Redeeming GodJesus was standing one day by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the crowd pressing round him listening to the word of God, when he caught sight of two boats close to the bank. The fishermen had gone out to them and were washing their nets. He go into one of the boats - it was Simon's - and asked him to put out a little from the shore.  Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.

When he finished speaking he said to Simon, 'Put out into deep water and pay out your nets for a catch. 'Master, 'Simon replied, 'we worked hard all night long and caught nothing, but if you say so, I will pay out the nets.' And when they had done this they netted such a huge number of fish that their nets began to tear, so they signalled to their companions in the other boat to come and help them; when these came, they filled the two boats to sinking point. When Simon Peter saw this he fell at the knees of Jesus saying, 'Leave me, Lord; I am a sinful man.' For he and all his companions were completely overcome by the catch they had made; so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. But Jesus said to Simon, 'Do not be afraid; from now on it is men you will catch.' Then, bringing their boats back to land, they left everything and followed him.

The Commemoration of St. Gregory the Great, 3 September | Concordia and KoinoniaFather you guide your people with kindness and govern us with love.

May the growth of your people in holiness be the eternal joy of our shepherds.  We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your 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
