GET RID OF OLD YEAST OF EVIL AND WICKEDNESS

-

Altar Server Prayer Before Mass: Father in Heaven, your Son Jesus Christ, showed his love for you by serving his brothers and sisters in need. I now ask you to give me your help as I serve you and your people. Open my mouth to praise you in word and song. Open my ears to hear your word. Open my hand to do your work well. Take from my heart all evil and distracting thoughts. Help me to know what I should do, and do it well.  Help me to serve reverently at your holy altar, and so give you praise and glory, now and forever. Amen. Mass Readings

I have been told as an undoubted fact that one of you is living with his father's wife. This is a case of sexual immorality among you that must be unparalleled even among pagans. How can you be so proud of yourselves? You should be in mourning.  A man who does a thing like that ought to have been expelled from the community.  Though I am far away in body, I am with you in spirit, and have already condemned the man who did this thing as if I were actually present. When you are assembled together in the name of the Lord Jesus, and I am spiritually present with you, then with the power our Lord Jesus he is to be handed over to Satan so that his sensual body may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.


JesusHealsWitheredHand.370 | Bible images, Jesus heals, Bible picturesThe pride that you take in yourselves is hardly to your credit. You must know how even a small amount of yeast is enough to leaven all the dough, so get rid of all the old yeast, and make yourselves into a completely new batch of bread, unleavened as you are meant to be.  Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed; let us celebrate the feast, then, by getting rid of all the old yeast of evil and wickedness, having only the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.


Meditating on the Commands of Christ (30): Stretch Out Your Hand – Summer SettingOn the sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him to see if he would cure a man on the sabbath, hoping to find something to use against him.  But he knew their thoughts; and he said  tot the man with the withered hand, 'Stand up! Come out into the middle,' And he came out and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, 'I put it to you: is it against the law on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy it?' Then he looked round at them all and said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.' He did so, and his hand was better. But they were furious, and began to discuss the best way of dealing with Jesus. Homily

Thank you Father for loving me. Lord Jesus Christ, help me extend your love to everyone I meet today. May evil and wickedness not dwell in my heart. Give me a loving and sincere heart.

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...
