ONE LIKE A SON OF MAN

HIS SOVEREIGNTY IS AN ETERNAL SOVEREIGNTY

 Act of Love before Mass 
FRIDAY 34TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME O my God, I love Thee with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength and with no other desire than to be inseparably united to Thee. It is through Thy Divine Son that this union is about to be realized within me. In Holy Communion I long to identify myself with Him, that it will no longer be myself, but Him, who lives in me; and when I have received Jesus within myself, then I shall love and be loved by Thee in that same measure, in which I am united to Him. Hasten then, to give me Thy Divine Son, at the hands of Thy priest, that through Jesus, I may unite myself forever to Thee, O God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
 
First Reading Daniel 7:2-14
I saw coming on the clouds of heaven, one like the son of man
I, Daniel, have been seeing visions in the night. I saw that the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea; four great beasts emerged from the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a lion with eagle’s wings; and as I looked its wings were torn off, and it was lifted from the ground and set standing on its feet like a man; and it was given a human heart. The second beast I saw was different, like a bear, raised up on one of its sides, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth. “Up!” came the command “Eat quantities of flesh!” After this I looked, and saw another beast, like a leopard, and with four bird’s wings on its flanks; it had four heads, and power was given to it. Next I saw another vision in the visions of the night: I saw a fourth beast, fearful, terrifying, very strong; it had great iron teeth, and it ate, crushed and trampled underfoot what remained. It was different from the previous beasts and had ten horns.

While I was looking at these horns, I saw another horn sprouting among them, a little one; three of the original horns were pulled out by the roots to make way for it; and in this horn I saw eyes like human eyes, and a mouth that was full of boasts. As I watched:

Thrones were set in place 
 and one of great age took his seat. His robe was white as snow,  the hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze of flames,  its wheels were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing from his presence. A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. A court was held and the books were opened.
The great things the horn was saying were still ringing in my ears, and as I watched, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and committed to the flames. The other beasts were deprived of their power, but received a lease of life for a season and a time. 
I gazed into the visions of the night.  And I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man. He came to the one of great age and was led into his presence. On him was conferred sovereignty, glory and kingship, and men of all peoples, nations and languages became his servants. His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty which shall never pass away, nor will his empire ever be destroyed.

Gospel Luke 29:21-33
My words will never pass away
Jesus told his disciples a parable: ‘Think of the fig tree and indeed every tree. As soon as you see them bud, you know that summer is now near. So with you when you see these things happening: know that the kingdom of God is near. I tell you solemnly, before this generation has passed away all will have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.’

Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, on you God the Father conferred sovereignty, glory and kingship, we the people of God from all nations, languages and tribes are subjects under your Kingship. We believe Lord that your sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty which shall never pass away, nor will your Kingdom ever be destroyed. 

You said Lord, that heaven and earth shall pass away, but your words will never pass away. You are the WORD made flesh and you dwell among us. A proof of your Kingship and Eternity: your everlasting Kingdom. Come Lord Jesus come dwell in our hearts.

Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Virgin Mary pray for me, Saint Joseph pray for me. God's Holy Angels pray for me. My Guardian Angel pray for me, guard and guide me. Thank you for your protection. God our Father to you be all Glory, Honor, Worship and Adoration.

Please pray your Holy Rosary, today's mystery, is Sorrowful Mystery.
