FIRST READING GENESIS 18:20-32 Readings

Abraham negotiates with the Lord

The Lord said, ‘How great an outcry there is against Sodom and Gomorrah! How grievous is their sin! I propose to go down and see whether or not they have done all that is alleged in the outcry against them that has come up to me. I am determined to know.’ 

The men left there and went to Sodom while Abraham remained standing before the Lord. Approaching him he said, ‘Are you really going to destroy the just man with the sinner? Perhaps there are fifty just men in the town. Will you really overwhelm them, will you not spare the place for the fifty just men in it? Do not think of doing such a thing: to kill the just man with the sinner, treating just and sinner alike! Do not think of it! Will the judge of the whole earth not administer justice?’ the Lord replied, ‘If at Sodom I find fifty just men in the town, I will spare the whole place because of them.’ .....

Responsorial Psalm: On the day I called, you answered me, O Lord

SECOND READING COLOSSIANS 2:12-14

Christ has brought you to life with him and forgiven us all our sins

You have been buried with Christ, when you were baptised; and by baptism, too, you have been raised up with him through your belief in the power of God who raised him from the dead. You were dead, because you were sinners and had not been circumcised: he has brought you to life with him, he has forgiven us all our sins. Refelctions  He has overridden the Law, and cancelled every record of the debt that we had to pay; he has done away with it by nailing it to the cross.

GOSPEL LUKE 11:1-13 How to pray


Once Jesus was in a certain place praying, and when he had finished one of his disciples said, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.’ He said to them, ‘Say this when you pray: ‘“Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come; give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive each one who is in debt to us. And do not put us to the test.”’............

 PREMIÈRE LECTURE GENÈSE 18, 20-32
« Que mon Seigneur ne se mette pas en colère si j’ose parler encore »
Lecture du livre de la Genèse
En ces jours-là, les trois visiteurs d’Abraham allaient partir pour Sodome.  Alors le Seigneur dit : « Comme elle est grande, la clameur au sujet de Sodome et de Gomorrhe ! Et leur faute, comme elle est lourde !  Je veux descendre pour voir si leur conduite correspond à la clameur venue jusqu’à moi. Si c’est faux, je le reconnaîtrai. » Les hommes se dirigèrent vers Sodome, tandis qu’Abraham demeurait devant le Seigneur. Abraham s’approcha et dit : « Vas-tu vraiment faire périr le juste avec le coupable ? Peut-être y a-t-il cinquante justes dans la ville. Vas-tu vraiment les faire périr ? Ne pardonneras-tu pas à toute la ville à cause des cinquante justes qui s’y trouvent ?   Loin de toi de faire une chose pareille ! Faire mourir le juste avec le coupable, traiter le juste de la même manière que le coupable, loin de toi d’agir ainsi ! Celui qui juge toute la terre n’agirait-il pas selon le droit ? »  Le Seigneur déclara : « Si je trouve cinquante justes dans Sodome, à cause d’eux je pardonnerai à toute la ville. »........
 
DEUXIÈME LECTURE COLOSSIENS 2, 12-14 Lectures 
 
« Dieu vous a donné la vie avec le Christ, il nous a pardonné toutes nos fautes »

Lecture de la lettre de saint Paul apôtre aux Colossiens

Frères, dans le baptême vous avez été mis au tombeau avec le Christ et vous êtes ressuscités avec lui par la foi en la force de Dieu qui l'a ressuscité d’entre les morts. Vous étiez des morts, parce que vous aviez commis des fautes et n’aviez pas reçu de circoncision dans votre chair. Mais Dieu vous a donné la vie avec le Christ : il nous a pardonné toutes nos fautes. Il a effacé le billet de la dette qui nous accablait en raison des prescriptions légales pesant sur nous : il l’a annulé en le clouant à la croix.

ÉVANGILE LUC 11, 1-13 « Demandez, on vous donnera »

Évangile de Jésus Christ selon saint Luc
Il arriva que Jésus, en un certain lieu, était en prière. Quand il eut terminé, un de ses disciples lui demanda : « Seigneur, apprends-nous à prier, comme Jean le Baptiste, lui aussi, l’a appris à ses disciples. »  Il leur répondit : « Quand vous priez, dites : ‘Père, que ton nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne.  Donne-nous le pain dont nous avons besoin pour chaque jour. Pardonne-nous nos péchés, car nous-mêmes, nous pardonnons aussi à tous ceux qui ont des torts envers nous. Et ne nous laisse pas entrer en tentation. »…
My compassionate Father, my God I thank you for your mercy, thank you for your patience. I thank you for you do not treat us according to our sins. You are loving and forgiving. Thank you merciful Father. Father take all the glory through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Father, may I be merciful towards my fellow creatures, for you brought us to life through Christ and have cancilled every record of the debt we were to pay.
Pray the Holy Rosary. Ave Maria. Hail Mary. Hail Holy Queen.
Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. God's Holy Angels and Saints pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me. Protect and defend me. Guide and guard me.

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...
