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.

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 ...

WHO ARE YOU?

I AM NOT THE CHRIST   First Reading 1John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything Beloved: Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well. Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life. I write you these things about those who would deceive you. As for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, so that you do not need anyone to teach you. But his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false; just as it taught you, remain in him. And now, children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be put to shame by him at his coming. Responsorial Psalm: ...
