DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EAR TO THE POOR MAN'S CRY

TUESDAY WEEK 25 ORDINARY TIME

Reading Proverbs 21:1-6,10-13 On wickedness and virtue

Like flowing water is the heart of the king in the hand of the Lord, who turns it where he pleases. A man’s conduct may strike him as upright, the Lord, however, weighs the heart. To act virtuously and with justice is more pleasing to the Lord than sacrifice. Haughty eye, proud heart, lamp of the wicked, nothing but sin. The hardworking man is thoughtful, and all is gain; too much haste, and all that comes of it is want. To make a fortune with the help of a lying tongue, such the idle fantasy of those who look for death. The wicked man’s soul is intent on evil, he looks on his neighbour with dislike. When a mocker is punished, the ignorant man grows wiser, when a wise man is instructed he acquires more knowledge. The Just One watches the house of the wicked:  he hurls the wicked to destruction. He who shuts his ear to the poor man’s cry shall himself plead and not be heard. Reading Reflection

Lecture du livre des Proverbes 21, 1-6. 10-13
Maximes diverses pour une vie droite

Le Seigneur dispose du cœur du roi comme d’un canal d’irrigation, il le dirige où il veut. La conduite d’un homme est toujours droite à ses yeux, mais c’est le Seigneur qui pèse les cœurs. Accomplir la justice et le droit plaît au Seigneur plus que le sacrifice. Regarder de haut, se rengorger : ainsi brillent les méchants, mais ce n’est que péché. Les plans de l’homme actif lui assurent du profit ; mais la précipitation conduit à l’indigence. Une fortune acquise par le mensonge : illusion fugitive de qui cherche la mort. Le méchant ne désire que le mal ; il n’a pas un regard de pitié pour son prochain. Quand on punit l’insolent, l’étourdi devient sage ; le sage, il suffit de le raisonner pour qu’il comprenne. Le juste considère le clan du méchant : le méchant pervertit les autres pour leur malheur. Qui fait la sourde oreille à la clameur des faibles criera lui-même sans obtenir de réponse. Lectures Méditation

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...
