BE HUMBLE BEFORE GOD AND YOU WILL FIND FAVOR

22ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C

Reading from the book of Ecclesiasticus 3:19-21,30-31
Behave humbly, and you will find favour with the Lord

My son, be gentle in carrying out your business, and you will be better loved than a lavish giver. The greater you are, the more you should behave humbly, and then you will find favour with the Lord; for great though the power of the Lord is, he accepts the homage of the humble. There is no cure for the proud man’s malady, since an evil growth has taken root in him. The heart of a sensible man will reflect on parables,  an attentive ear is the sage’s dream.

Pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Mary. Hail Holy Queen

Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Blessed 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. Defend and protect me. Guide and guard me.

Your Birthday Saint: Saint Augustine of Hippo, Bishop. May he pray for you as you celebrate your birthday today.

 Lecture du livre de Ben Sira le Sage (3, 17-18.20.28-29)
« Il faut t’abaisser : tu trouveras grâce devant le Seigneur »

Mon fils, accomplis toute chose dans l’humilité, et tu seras aimé plus qu’un bienfaiteur. Plus tu es grand, plus il faut t’abaisser : tu trouveras grâce devant le Seigneur. Grande est la puissance du Seigneur, et les humbles lui rendent gloire. La condition de l’orgueilleux est sans remède, car la racine du mal est en lui. Qui est sensé médite les maximes de la sagesse ; l’idéal du sage, c’est une oreille qui écoute.  Lectures Méditation

Priez la Sainte Rosaire : Ave Maria.  Je vous salue Sainte Reine.

Seigneur Jésus-Christ, j’ai confiance en toi. La Vierge Marie priez pour moi. Saint Joseph priez pour moi. Les saints anges et saints de Dieu prient pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien priez pour moi. Défendez-moi et protégez-moi. Guidez-moi. Gardez-moi.

Saint de Votre Anniversaire : Saint Augustin Ã©vêque, Docteur priez pour vous comme vous célébrez votre anniversaire aujourd’hui.

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...
