YOU HAVE HIDDEN THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE

WEDNESDAY 15 WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C 
TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD THE FATHER AND THE SON

FIRST READING ISAIAH 10 :5-7, 13-16 
Does the axe claim more credit than the man who wields it?

The Lord of hosts says this: Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger, the club brandished by me in my fury! I sent him against a godless nation; I gave him commission against a people that provokes me, to pillage and to plunder freely and to stamp down like the mud in the streets. But he did not intend this, his heart did not plan it so. No, in his heart was to destroy, to go on cutting nations to pieces without limit........ Readings

PREMIÈRE LECTURE ISAÏE 10, 5-7.13-16
« Le ciseau se glorifie-t-il aux dépens de celui qui s’en sert pour tailler ? »

Lecture du livre du prophète Isaïe

Ainsi parle le Seigneur : Malheureux ! Assour, l’instrument de ma colère, le bâton de mon courroux. Je l’envoie contre une nation impie, je lui donne mission contre un peuple qui excite ma fureur, pour le mettre au pillage et emporter le butin, pour le piétiner comme la boue des chemins. Mais Assour ne l’entend pas ainsi, ce n’est pas du tout ce qu’il pense: ce qu’il veut, c’est détruire, exterminer quantité de nations….. Lectures

GOSPEL MATTHEW 11:25-27
You have hidden these things from the wise and revealed them to little children Reflections

Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father,
just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.’
 
ÉVANGILE MATTHIEU 11: 25-27
« Ce que tu as caché aux sages et aux savants, tu l’as révélé aux tout-petits »

Évangile de Jésus Christ selon saint Matthieu

En ce temps-là, Jésus prit la parole et dit: « Père, Seigneur du ciel et de la terre, je proclame ta louange: ce que tu as caché aux sages et aux savants, tu l’as révélé aux tout-petits. Oui, Père, tu l’as voulu ainsi dans ta bienveillance. Tout m’a été remis par mon Père; personne ne connaît le Fils, sinon le Père, et personne ne connaît le Père, sinon le Fils,et celui à qui le Fils veut le révéler.»

Père, Seigneur du ciel et de la terre, je proclame ta louange: ce que tu as caché aux sages et aux savants, tu l’as révélé aux tout-petits.

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter  'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading  Acts 6:1-7  They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide -   ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1  'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28  I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
