MY NEIGHBOR

15 SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C 
CHRIST THE FIRST BORN OF ALL CREATION
FIRST READING DEUTERONOMY 30:10-14

The Law is not beyond your strength or beyond your reach Readings

Moses said to the people: ‘Obey the voice of the Lord your God, keeping those commandments and laws of his that are written in the Book of this Law, and you shall return to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.

‘For this Law that I enjoin on you today is not beyond your strength or beyond your reach. It is not in heaven, so that you need to wonder, “Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it down to us, so that we may hear it and keep it?” Nor is it beyond the seas, so that you need to wonder, “Who will cross the seas for us and bring it back to us, so that we may hear it and keep it?” No, the Word is very near to you, it is in your mouth and in your heart for your observance.’

PSALM: Seek you the Lord you who are poor and your hearts will revive

SECOND READING COLOSSIANS 1 :15-20 
All things were created through Christ and for Christ
 
Christ Jesus is the image of the unseen God and the first-born of all creation, for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, Thrones, Dominations, Sovereignties, Powers all things were created through him and for him. Before anything was created, he existed, and he holds all things in unity. Now the Church is his body, he is its head.
 
As he is the Beginning, he was first to be born from the dead, so that he should be first in every way; because God wanted all perfection to be found in him and all things to be reconciled through him and for him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, when he made peace by his death on the cross.

PREMIÈRE LECTURE DEUTÉRONOME Dt 30, 10-14
« Elle est tout près de toi, cette Parole, afin que tu la mettes en pratique » Lectures
 
Lecture du livre du Deutéronome
 
Moïse disait au peuple: « Ã‰coute la voix du Seigneur ton Dieu, en observant ses commandements et ses décrets inscrits dans ce livre de la Loi, et reviens au Seigneur ton Dieu de tout ton cÅ“ur et de toute ton âme. Car cette loi que je te prescris aujourd’hui n’est pas au-dessus de tes forces ni hors de ton atteinte. Elle n’est pas dans les cieux, pour que tu dises:  ‘Qui montera aux cieux nous la chercher? Qui nous la fera entendre, afin que nous la mettions en pratique?’

Elle n’est pas au-delà des mers, pour que tu dises: ‘Qui se rendra au-delà des mers nous la chercher ? Qui nous la fera entendre, afin que nous la mettions en pratique?’ Elle est tout près de toi, cette Parole, elle est dans ta bouche et dans ton cÅ“ur, afin que tu la mettes en pratique. » 

PSAUME: Cherchez Dieu, vous les humbles et votre cœur vivra

DEUXIÈME LECTURE COLOSSIENS 1, 15-20) « Tout est créé par lui et pour lui »

Lecture de la lettre de saint Paul Apôtre aux Colossiens
Le Christ Jésus est l’image du Dieu invisible, le premier-né, avant toute créature:  en lui, tout fut créé, dans le ciel et sur la terre. Les êtres visibles et invisibles, Puissances, Principautés, Souverainetés, Dominations, tout est créé par lui et pour lui. Il est avant toute chose, et tout subsiste en lui.

Il est aussi la tête du corps, la tête de l’Église: c’est lui le commencement, le premier-né d’entre les morts, afin qu’il ait en tout la primauté. 

Car Dieu a jugé bon qu’habite en lui toute plénitude et que tout, par le Christ, lui soit enfin réconcilié, faisant la paix par le sang de sa Croix, la paix pour tous les êtres sur la terre et dans le ciel.

ÉVANGILE « Qui est mon prochain ? » (LUC 10, 25-37)

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 Guardian Angel 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...
