Eternal Father, I offer thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its Love, all its sufferings and all its merits.
No-one sins who has been begotten by God
My children, do not let anyone lead you astray: to live a holy life is to be holy just as he is holy; to lead a sinful life is to belong to the devil, since the devil was a sinner from the beginning.
It was to undo all that the devil has done that the Son of God appeared. No one who has been begotten by God sins; because God’s seed remains inside him, he cannot sin when he has been begotten by God. In this way we distinguish the children of God from the children of the devil: anybody not living a holy life and not loving his brotheris no child of God’s.
Responsorial Psalm: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God
Gospel John 1:35-42
'We have found the Messiah'
One of these two who became followers of Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. Early next morning, Andrew met his brother and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ – which means the Christ – and he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked hard at him and said, ‘You are Simon son of John; you are to be called Cephas’ – meaning Rock.
My God, my Father in heaven may no one lead me astray. May I live a holy life, and be holy just as Christ is holy. May I not live a sinful life for I belong to you and not to the devil for the devil was a sinner from the beginning.
Christ came to undo all that the devil has done. I have been begotten by God my Father for your seed remains inside me. I shall not sin for I am a distinguished child of God. I shall live a holy life. This I ask of you my God through Jesus Christ my Lord and Messiah.
First Reading 1 John 1:7-10
Beloved, let us love one
another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is
without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of
God was revealed to us: God sent his only-begotten Son into the world
so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
Gospel Mark 6:34-44
When Jesus saw the vast crowd,
his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without
a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. By now
it was already late and his disciples approached him and said, “This is
a deserted place and it is already very late.
Dismiss them so that they can go to
the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
He said to them in reply, “Give them some food yourselves.”
But they said to him, “Are we to
buy two hundred days’ wages worth of food and give it to them to eat?”
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?
Go and see.” And when they had found out they said, “Five
loaves and two fish.” So he gave orders to have them sit down in
groups on the green grass. The people took their places in rows by
hundreds and by fifties.
Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; he also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments and what was left of the fish. Those who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
