JESUS CHRIST SON OF MOST HIGH GOD

-
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 pilgrimage I now receive Your beloved Son under the veil of a sacrament, may I one day see Him face to face in glory, who lives and reigns with You forever. Amen. By Knights of the Holy Eucharist. Readings Lectures  Reflection  

First Reading    Jeremiah 20:10-13
 
He has delivered the soul of the needy from the hands of evil men
Jeremiah said:
I hear so many disparaging me, ‘“Terror from every side!” Denounce him! Let us denounce him!’ All those who used to be my friends watched for my downfall, ‘Perhaps he will be seduced into error. Then we will master him and take our revenge!’ But the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero; my opponents will stumble, mastered, confounded by their failure; everlasting, unforgettable disgrace will be theirs. But you, O Lord of Hosts, you who probe with justice, who scrutinise the loins and heart, let me see the vengeance you will take on them, for I have committed my cause to you. Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hands of evil men.
 
Responsorial Psalm
In my anguish I called to the Lord, and he heard my voice
 
Gospel   John 10:31-42
 
They wanted to stone Jesus, but he eluded them
The Jews fetched stones to stone him, so Jesus said to them, ‘I have done many good works for you to see, works from my Father; for which of these are you stoning me?’ The Jews answered him, ‘We are not stoning you for doing a good work but for blasphemy: you are only a man and you claim to be God.’

 Jesus answered:
‘Is it not written in your Law: I said, you are gods? So the Law uses the word gods of those to whom the word of God was addressed,  and scripture cannot be rejected. Yet you say to someone the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, “You are blaspheming,” because he says, “I am the son of God.” If I am not doing my Father’s work, there is no need to believe me; but if I am doing it, then even if you refuse to believe in me, at least believe in the work I do; then you will know for sure that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.’
 
They wanted to arrest him then, but he eluded them.
 
He went back again to the far side of the Jordan to stay in the district where John had once been baptising. Many people who came to him there said, ‘John gave no signs, but all he said about this man was true’; and many of them believed in him.

My Father in heaven, I am weak deliver me from temptation. Do not le be be to be seduced into error. Let not my enemies master me and take revenge over me. My God, my mighty Hero ever at my side. 

Father with you to protect me opponents will stumble, mastered, they will be confounded by their failure. Everlasting, and unforgettable disgrace will be theirs.

Father, Lord of Hosts, you who probe with justice, who scrutinise the heart, I will see your mighty hands of deliverance, for I have committed my cause to you. Father I sing your praise, for you have delivered my soul from the hands of evil men. 

Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, my Saviour, I trust in you. Thank you for loving me. Be with me Lord, when I am facing rejection, deliver me from those who hate me.

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.
