First Reading Ecclesiasticus 42:15-26

The work of the Lord is full of his glory
I will remind you of the works of the Lord,   and tell of what I have seen. By the words of the Lord his works come into being   and all creation obeys his will. As the sun in shining looks on all things, so the work of the Lord is full of his glory. The Lord has not granted to the holy ones  to tell of all his marvels which the Almighty Lord has solidly constructed   for the universe to stand firm in his glory. He has fathomed the deep and the heart,   and seen into their devious ways; for the Most High knows all the knowledge there is,   and has observed the signs of the times. He declares what is past and what will be,   and uncovers the traces of hidden things. Not a thought escapes him,   not a single word is hidden from him. He has imposed an order on the magnificent works of his wisdom,   he is from everlasting to everlasting, nothing can be added to him, nothing taken away,  he needs no one’s advice. How desirable are all his works,   how dazzling to the eye! They all live and last for ever, whatever the circumstances all obey him. All things go in pairs, by opposites,   and he has made nothing defective; the one consolidates the excellence of the other,   who could ever be sated with gazing at his glory?
 
Responsorial Psalm
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made

Gospel  Mark 10:46-52

Go; your faith has saved you
As Jesus left Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting at the side of the road. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout and to say, ‘Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me.’ And many of them scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he only shouted all the louder, ‘Son of David, have pity on me.’ Jesus stopped and said, ‘Call him here.’ So they called the blind man. ‘Courage,’ they said ‘get up; he is calling you.’ So throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and went to Jesus. Then Jesus spoke, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Rabbuni,’ the blind man said to him ‘Master, let me see again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has saved you.’ And immediately his sight returned and he followed him along the road.
 
My Father in heaven, by your words all things came into being and all creation obey your holy will.  We see your glory in the shining sun. We marvel at what you Almighty God has made for by your wisdm the universe stand firm in your glory. Most High God you are the seat of all  knowledge, you control signs of time. Father you are awesome, make me see that I may behold your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, King of eternal glory I turst in you. Virgin Mary Mother of Christ, my Mother pray for 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...

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...

ALLÉLUIA. ALLÉLUIA! VOICI LE JOUR QUE FIT LE SEIGNEUR: AELF Alléluia, alléluia, alléluia Première Lecture Actes  2,14.22-33 « Ce Jésus, Dieu l’a ressuscité ; nous tous, nous en sommes témoins »  Le jour de la Pentecôte, Pierre, debout avec les onze autres Apôtres, éleva la voix et leur fit cette déclaration : « Vous, Juifs, et vous tous qui résidez à Jérusalem, sachez bien ceci, prêtez l’oreille à mes paroles. Il s’agit de Jésus le Nazaréen, homme que Dieu a accrédité auprès de vous en accomplissant par lui des miracles, des prodiges et des signes au milieu de vous, comme vous le savez vous-mêmes. Cet homme, livré selon le dessein bien arrêté et la prescience de Dieu, vous l’avez supprimé en le clouant sur le bois par la main des impies. » Mais Dieu l’a ressuscité en le délivrant des douleurs de la mort, car il n’était pas possible qu’elle le retienne en son pouvoir. En effet, c’est de lui que parle David dans le psaume : Je voyais le Seigneur devant moi sans relâche :...
