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.

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: ...
