NO JEALOUSY AND WRANGLING AMONG YOU

WEDNESDAY WEEK 22 IN ORDINARY TIME:
HE WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK: THEY KNEW HE WAS THE CHRIST

Reading 1 Corinthians 3:1-9
Neither the planter nor the waterer matters,
 only God, who makes things grow

Brothers, I myself was unable to speak to you as people of the Spirit: I treated you as sensual men, still infants in Christ. What I fed you with was milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it; and indeed, you are still not ready for it since you are still unspiritual. Isn’t that obvious from all the jealousy and wrangling that there is among you, from the way that you go on behaving like ordinary people? What could be more unspiritual than your slogans, ‘I am for Paul’ and ‘I am for Apollos’? 

After all, what is Apollos and what is Paul? They are servants who brought the faith to you. Even the different ways in which they brought it were assigned to them by the Lord. I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God made things grow. Neither the planter nor the waterer matters: only God, who makes things grow. It is all one who does the planting and who does the watering, and each will duly be paid according to his share in the work. We are fellow workers with God; you are God’s farm, God’s building. Readings Reflection

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 Saints: Saints Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. May they pray for you as you celebrate your birthday today.
Lecture Corinthiens 3, 1-9
 « Ni le planteur ni l’abreuvoir n’ont d’importance, seul Dieu qui fait grandir les choses »

Frères, quand je me suis adressé à vous, je n’ai pas pu vous parler comme à des spirituels, mais comme à des êtres seulement charnels, comme à des petits enfants dans le Christ. C’est du lait que je vous ai donné, et non de la nourriture solide ; vous n’auriez pas pu en manger, et encore maintenant vous ne le pouvez pas, car vous êtes encore des êtres charnels. Puisqu’il y a entre vous des jalousies et des rivalités, n’êtes-vous pas toujours des êtres charnels, et n’avez-vous pas une conduite tout humaine ? Quand l’un de vous dit : « Moi, j’appartiens à Paul », et un autre : « Moi, j’appartiens à Apollos », n’est-ce pas une façon d’agir tout humaine ?  Lecture Méditation

Mais qui donc est Apollos ? qui est Paul ? Des serviteurs par qui vous êtes devenus croyants, et qui ont agi selon les dons du Seigneur à chacun d’eux. Moi, j’ai planté, Apollos a arrosé ; mais c’est Dieu qui donnait la croissance. Donc celui qui plante n’est pas important, ni celui qui arrose ; seul importe celui qui donne la croissance : Dieu. Celui qui plante et celui qui arrose ne font qu’un, mais chacun recevra son propre salaire suivant la peine qu’il se sera donnée. Nous sommes des collaborateurs de Dieu, et vous êtes un champ que Dieu cultive, une maison que Dieu construit.

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.

Saints de Votre Anniversaire : Saints Joseph d’Arimathieet et Nicodème  prient pour vous comme vous célébrez votre anniversaire aujourd’hui.

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...

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...

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...
