GOD IS OUR HOPE

TUESDAY WEEK 19 ORDINARY TIME YEAR C

FIRST READING JEREMIAH 14:17-22 
We confess our wickedness; you, God, are our hope
 
The Lord said to me: Say this word to the people:

‘Tears flood my eyes night and day, unceasingly, since a crushing blow falls on the daughter of my people, a most grievous injury. If I go into the countryside, there lie men killed by the sword; if I go into the city, I see people sick with hunger; even prophets and priests plough the land: they are at their wit’s end.’

‘Have you rejected Judah altogether? Does your very soul revolt at Zion? Why have you struck us down without hope of cure? We were hoping for peace – no good came of it!
 
For the moment of cure – nothing but terror! Lord, we do confess our wickedness and our fathers’ guilt: we have indeed sinned against you. For your name’s sake do not reject us, do not dishonour the throne of your glory. Reflections
 
Remember us; do not break your covenant with us. Can any of the pagan Nothings make it rain? Can the heavens produce showers? No, it is you, Lord. O our God, you are our hope, since it is you who do all this.’
 
PREMIER LECTURE JÉRÉMIE 14, 17-22

« Seigneur, rappelle-toi : ne romps pas ton alliance avec nous ! »

Que mes yeux ruissellent de larmes nuit et jour, sans s’arrêter ! Elle est blessée d’une grande blessure, la vierge, la fille de mon peuple, meurtrie d’une plaie profonde. Si je sors dans la campagne, voici les victimes de l’épée ; si j’entre dans la ville, voici les souffrants de la faim. Même le prophète, même le prêtre parcourent le pays sans comprendre. commentaire


As-tu donc rejeté Juda ? Es-tu pris de dégoût pour Sion ? Pourquoi nous frapper sans remède ? Nous attendions la paix, et rien de bon ! le temps du remède, et voici l’épouvante !

Seigneur, nous connaissons notre révolte, la faute de nos pères : oui, nous avons péché contre toi ! À cause de ton nom, ne méprise pas, n’humilie pas le trône de ta gloire !

Rappelle-toi : ne romps pas ton alliance avec nous ! Parmi les idoles des nations, en est-il qui fassent pleuvoir ? Est-ce le ciel qui nous donnera les pluies ? N’est-ce pas toi, Seigneur notre Dieu ? Nous espérons en toi, car c’est toi qui as fait tout cela. Lectures
Lord,  remember your covenant with us. We do confess our wickedness and our fathers’ guilt: we have indeed sinned against you. For your name’s sake do not reject us, do not dishonour the throne of your glory.

Seigneur, rappelle-toi  ton alliance avec nous. Nous connaissons notre révolte, la faute de nos pères : oui, nous avons péché contre toi ! À cause de ton nom, ne méprise pas, n’humilie pas le trône de ta gloire.

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...
