LEARN TO DO GOOD

MONDAY 15 WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C
FIRST READING ISAIAH 1:10-17 

APPRENEZ À FAIRE LE BIEN

Take your wrongdoing out of my sight
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the command of our God, you people of Gomorrah. ‘What are your endless sacrifices to me? says the Lord. I am sick of holocausts of rams and the fat of calves. The blood of bulls and of goats revolts me. When you come to present yourselves before me, who asked you to trample over my courts? Readings

Bring me your worthless offerings no more, the smoke of them fills me with disgust. New Moons, sabbaths, assemblies I cannot endure festival and solemnity. Your New Moons and your pilgrimages I hate with all my soul. They lie heavy on me, I am tired of bearing them.
 
When you stretch out your hands I turn my eyes away. You may multiply your prayers, I shall not listen. Your hands are covered with blood, wash, make yourselves clean. ‘Take your wrong-doing out of my sight. Cease to do evil. Learn to do good, search for justice, help the oppressed, be just to the orphan, plead for the widow. 

PSALM: Psalm 49 (50) I will show God's alvation to the upright Reflections
 
PREMIÈRE LECTURE ISAÏE 1, 10-17
« Lavez-vous, purifiez-vous, ôtez de ma vue vos actions mauvaises »
Lecture du livre du prophète Isaïe
 
Écoutez la parole du Seigneur, vous qui êtes pareils aux chefs de Sodome! Prêtez l’oreille à l’enseignement de notre Dieu, vous, peuple de Gomorrhe!   Que m’importe le nombre de vos sacrifices? dit le Seigneur. Les holocaustes de béliers, la graisse des veaux, j’en suis rassasié. Lectures

Le sang des taureaux, des agneaux et des boucs, je n’y prends pas plaisir.  Quand vous venez vous présenter devant ma face, qui vous demande de fouler mes parvis? Cessez d’apporter de vaines offrandes; j’ai horreur de votre encens. Les nouvelles lunes, les sabbats, les assemblées, je n’en peux plus de ces crimes et de ces fêtes. Vos nouvelles lunes et vos solennités, moi, je les déteste: elles me sont un fardeau, je suis fatigué de le porter. 

Quand vous étendez les mains, je détourne les yeux. Vous avez beau multiplier les prières, je n’écoute pas: vos mains sont pleines de sang. Lavez-vous, purifiez-vous, ôtez de ma vue vos actions mauvaises, cessez de faire le mal.   Apprenez à faire le bien: recherchez le droit, mettez au pas l’oppresseur, rendez justice à l’orphelin, défendez la cause de la veuve.
 
PSAUME (Ps 49 (50) À celui qui veille sur sa conduite, je ferai voir le salut de Dieu.

My Father, my God thank you for your goodness. Father teach me to do good. Give me a pure heart. 

Mon Père mon Dieu merci pour votre bienveillance. Père apprenez moi à faire le bien. Donnez-moi un cœur pur.

Lord Jesus I trust in you. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. God's Holy Angels pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me. Protect and defend me. Be my guide and my guard.

Pray the Holy Rosary. 

Your Birthday Saint: Saint Benedict, Abbot. May hepray for you as you celebrate your birthday today.

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...
