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

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter  'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading  Acts 6:1-7  They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide -   ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1  'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

WHO ARE YOU?

I AM NOT THE CHRIST   First Reading 1John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything Beloved: Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well. Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life. I write you these things about those who would deceive you. As for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, so that you do not need anyone to teach you. But his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false; just as it taught you, remain in him. And now, children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be put to shame by him at his coming. Responsorial Psalm: ...
