I AM HOLY I HAVE NO WISH TO DESTROY

FIRST READING HOSEA 11:1-4,8-9 Readings
I am the Holy One in your midst and have no wish to destroy
Thus says the Lord:
When Israel was a child I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt. But
the more I called to them, the further they went from me; they have offered
sacrifice to the Baals and set their offerings smoking before the idols. I
myself taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in my arms; yet they have not understood that I was the one looking after them. I led
them with reins of kindness, with leading-strings of love. I was like someone
who lifts an infant close against his cheek; stooping down to him I gave him
his food.
Ephraim, how could I part with you? Israel, how could I give you up? How
could I treat you like Admah, or deal with you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils
from it, my whole being trembles at the thought. I will not give rein to my
fierce anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again, for I am God, not man: I am the
Holy One in your midst and have no wish to destroy.
PREMIÈRE
LECTURE Os 11, 1-4.8c-9 Lectures
« Au milieu de vous
je suis le Dieu saint, et je ne viens pas pour exterminer»
Lecture du livre du prophète Osée
Ainsi parle le Seigneur:
Oui, j’ai aimé Israël dès
son enfance, et, pour le faire sortir d’Égypte, j’ai appelé mon fils. Quand
je l’ai appelé, il s’est éloigné pour sacrifier aux Baals et brûler des
offrandes aux idoles. C’est moi qui lui apprenais à marcher, en le
soutenant de mes bras, et il n’a pas compris que je venais à son secours. Je le
guidais avec humanité, par des liens d’amour; je le traitais comme un nourrisson qu’on soulève tout contre sa joue; je me
penchais vers lui pour le faire manger. Mais ils ont refusé de revenir à moi: vais-je
les livrer au châtiment ?
Non ! Mon cœur se retourne contre moi; en même temps, mes
entrailles frémissent. Je n’agirai pas selon l’ardeur de ma colère, je ne
détruirai plus Israël, car moi, je suis Dieu, et non pas homme: au milieu de
vous je suis le Dieu saint, et je ne viens pas pour exterminer.
GOSPEL MATTHEW 10 :7-15 Reflections
You received without charge: give without charge
Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: ‘As you go, proclaim that the
kingdom of heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the
lepers, cast out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.
Provide yourselves with no gold or silver, not even with a few coppers for your
purses, with no haversack for the journey or spare tunic or footwear or a
staff, for the workman deserves his keep.
‘Whatever town or village you go into, ask for someone trustworthy and stay
with him until you leave. As you enter his house, salute it, and if the house
deserves it, let your peace descend upon it; if it does not, let your peace
come back to you. And if anyone does not welcome you or listen to what you have
to say, as you walk out of the house or town shake the dust from your feet. I
tell you solemnly, on the day of Judgement it will not go as hard with the land
of Sodom and Gomorrah as with that town.’
ÉVANGILE Mt 10, 7-15
« Vous avez reçu
gratuitement : donnez gratuitement »
Évangile de Jésus Christ selon saint Matthieu
En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses Apôtres: « Sur
votre route, proclamez que le royaume des Cieux est tout proche. Guérissez les
malades, ressuscitez les morts, purifiez les lépreux, expulsez les démons. Vous
avez reçu gratuitement: donnez gratuitement. Ne vous procurez ni or ni argent,
ni monnaie de cuivre à mettre dans vos ceintures, ni sac pour la route, ni
tunique de rechange, ni sandales, ni bâton. L’ouvrier, en effet, mérite sa
nourriture. Dans chaque ville ou village où vous entrerez, informez-vous pour savoir qui
est digne de vous accueillir, et restez là jusqu’à votre départ.
En entrant dans la maison, saluez ceux qui l’habitent. Si cette maison en
est digne, que votre paix vienne sur elle. Si elle n’en est pas digne, que
votre paix retourne vers vous. Si l’on ne vous accueille pas et si l’on
n’écoute pas vos paroles, sortez de cette maison ou de cette ville, et secouez la poussière de vos pieds. Amen, je vous le dis: au jour du
Jugement, le pays de Sodome et de Gomorrhe sera traité moins sévèrement que
cette ville.»
