FIRST READING 1 KINGS 2:1-4,10-12  David's dying exhortation to Solomon

As David’s life drew to its close he laid this charge on his son Solomon, ‘I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong and show yourself a man. Observe the injunctions of the Lord your God, following his ways and keeping his laws, his commandments, his customs and his decrees, as it stands written in the Law of Moses, that so you may be successful in all you do and undertake, so that the Lord may fulfil the promise he made me, “If your sons are careful how they behave, and walk loyally before me with all their heart and soul, you shall never lack for a man on the throne of Israel.”’

So David slept with his ancestors and was buried in the Citadel of David. David’s reign over Israel lasted forty years: he reigned in Hebron for seven years, and in Jerusalem for thirty-three. 

Solomon was seated upon the throne of David, and his sovereignty was securely established.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: You Lord are the ruler of all

GOSPEL  MARK 6:7-13  'Take nothing with you'

Jesus made a tour round the villages, teaching. Then he summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs giving them authority over the unclean spirits. And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff – no bread, no haversack, no coppers for their purses. They were to wear sandals but, he added, ‘Do not take a spare tunic.’ And he said to them, ‘If you enter a house anywhere, stay there until you leave the district. And if any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, as you walk away shake off the dust from under your feet as a sign to them.’ So they set off to preach repentance; and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
Your Birthday Saints: St. Ansgar (Oscar) Bishop and St. Blaise Bishop, Martyr. May your patron Saints intercede on your behalf through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Liturgical color white and red)

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their hearts, they do no wrong  but follow his ways. You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.

I will praise you with an upright heart  as I learn your righteous laws.I will obey your decrees;   do not utterly forsake me. How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart;  do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:1-11

Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. Sts Ansgar and Blaise pray for me. God's Holy Angels pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me. Protect me, be my guard and guide.

Pray the Holy Rosary. May the Blessed Virgin Mary bring us to her Son Jesus Christ.

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. Their offspring will last for ever, their glory will not fade Gospel Mark 11:11-26  The fig tree; the cleansing of the Temple After he had been acclaimed by the crowds, Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple.
