SEEK INTEGRITY
FIRST READING: Hosea 10:1-3,7-8,12 Seek integrity and reap a harvest of kindness
Their heart is a divided heart; very well, they must pay for it: the Lord
is going to break their altars down and destroy their sacred stones. Then they
will say, ‘We have no king because we have not feared the Lord.’ But what can a
king do for us? Samaria has had her day. Her king is like a straw drifting on
the water.
The idolatrous high places shall be destroyed that sin of Israel; thorn
and thistle will grow on their altars. Then they will say to the mountains,
‘Cover us!’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us!’ Sow integrity for yourselves, reap
a harvest of kindness, break up your fallow ground: it is time to go seeking
the Lord until he comes to rain salvation on you.
PREMIÈRE LECTURE Os
10, 1-3.7-8.12 «Il est temps de
chercher le Seigneur »
Lecture
du livre du prophète Osée Lectures
Israël était
une vigne luxuriante, qui portait beaucoup de fruit. Mais plus ses fruits se
multipliaient, plus Israël multipliait les autels; plus sa terre devenait belle,
plus il embellissait les stèles des faux dieux.
Les lieux sacrés seront détruits, ils sont le crime, le péché d’Israël; épines
et ronces recouvriront leurs autels. Alors on dira aux montagnes:
« Cachez-nous ! » et aux collines : « Tombez sur
nous ! » Faites des
semailles de justice, récoltez une moisson de fidélité, défrichez vos terres en
friche. Il est temps de chercher le Seigneur, jusqu’à ce qu’il vienne répandre
sur vous une pluie de justice.
GOSPEL MATTHEW 10 :1-7 'Go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel' Reflection
Jesus summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean
spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and
sickness.
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon who is called Peter,
and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip
and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of
Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, the one who was
to betray him. These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows:
‘Do not turn your steps to pagan territory, and do not enter any Samaritan
town; go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go,
proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.’
ÉVANGILE Mt 10:1-7 « Allez plutôt vers les brebis perdues de la maison d’Israël »
Évangile
de Jésus Christ selon saint Matthieu
En ce
temps-là, Jésus appela ses douze disciples et leur donna le pouvoir
d’expulser les esprits impurs et de guérir toute maladie et toute infirmité. Voici
les noms des douze Apôtres: le premier, Simon, nommé Pierre; André son frère; Jacques,
fils de Zébédée, et Jean son frère; Philippe et Barthélemy; Thomas et Matthieu
le publicain : Jacques, fils d’Alphée, et Thaddée; Simon le Zélote et
Judas l’Iscariote, celui-là même qui le livra. Ces douze, Jésus les envoya en
mission avec les instructions suivantes:
« Ne prenez pas le chemin qui mène vers les nations païennes et n’entrez
dans aucune ville des Samaritains. Allez plutôt vers les brebis perdues de la
maison d’Israël. Sur votre route, proclamez que le royaume des Cieux est
tout proche. »
