GOD IS LOVE

FRIDAY 17 WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C
DIEU EST AMOUR

FIRST READING 1JOHN 4 :7-16

Let us love one another, since love comes from God

My dear people, let us love one another since love comes from God and everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Anyone who fails to love can never have known God,  because God is love. God’s love for us was revealed when God sent into the world his only Son so that we could have life through him; this is the love I mean: not our love for God, but God’s love for us when he sent his Son to be the sacrifice that takes our sins away. Readings Reflections

 My dear people, since God has loved us so much, we too should love one another.  No one has ever seen God; but as long as we love one another God will live in us and his love will be complete in us. We can know that we are living in him and he is living in us because he lets us share his Spirit. We ourselves saw and we testify that the Father sent his Son as saviour of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him, and he in God. We ourselves have known and put our faith in God’s love towards ourselves. God is love and anyone who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in him.
 
GOSPEL: ‘Yes, Lord,’ she said ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world.’

PREMIÈRE LECTURE  1Jean 4,7-16
  « Si nous nous aimons les uns les autres, Dieu demeure en nous »
 

Bien-aimés, aimons-nous les uns les autres, puisque l’amour vient de Dieu. Celui qui aime est né de Dieu et connaît Dieu. Celui qui n’aime pas n’a pas connu Dieu, car Dieu est amour. Voici comment l’amour de Dieu s’est manifesté parmi nous : Dieu a envoyé son Fils unique dans le monde pour que nous vivions par lui. Voici en quoi consiste l’amour : ce n’est pas nous qui avons aimé Dieu, mais c’est lui qui nous a aimés, et il a envoyé son Fils en sacrifice de pardon pour nos péchés. Lectures Méditations

Bien-aimés, puisque Dieu nous a tellement aimés, nous devons, nous aussi, nous aimer les uns les autres. Dieu, personne ne l’a jamais vu. Mais si nous nous aimons les uns les autres, Dieu demeure en nous, et, en nous, son amour atteint la perfection. Voici comment nous reconnaissons que nous demeurons en lui et lui en nous : il nous a donné part à son Esprit. Quant à nous, nous avons vu et nous attestons que le Père a envoyé son Fils comme Sauveur du monde. Celui qui proclame que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu, Dieu demeure en lui, et lui en Dieu. Et nous, nous avons reconnu l’amour que Dieu a pour nous, et nous y avons cru. Dieu est amour : qui demeure dans l’amour demeure en Dieu, et Dieu demeure en lui.

ÉVANGILE: « Oui, Seigneur, je le crois : tu es le Christ, le Fils de Dieu, tu es celui qui vient dans le monde. »
Pray the Holy Rosary: Ave Maria. Hail Mary. Hail Holy Queen

GOD'S GIFTS

GOD'S GIFT Mathew 25:14-30 Jesus spoke this parable to his disciples: ‘The kingdom of Heaven is like a man on his way abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one; each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out. ‘The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more. The man who had received two made two more in the same way. But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. ‘Now a long time after, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. “Sir,” he said “you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made.” ‘His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have shown you can be faithful in small things, I will trust you with greater; co...

HE EXISTED BEFORE ME

First Reading 1 John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ  he is the liar, he is Antichrist; and he is denying the Father as well as the Son, because no one who has the Father can deny the Son, and to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father as well. Keep alive in yourselves what you were taught in the beginning: as long as what you were taught in the beginning is alive in you, you will live in the Son and in the Father; and what is promised to you by his own promise is eternal life. This is all that I am writing to you about the people who are trying to lead you astray. But you have not lost the anointing that he gave you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; the anointing he gave teaches you everything; you are anointed with truth, not with a lie, and as it has taught you, so you must stay in him. Live in Christ, then, my children, so that if he appears, we may have full confidence, and not turn from him...

BE CURED

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...
