DO NOT EMULATE THE MAN OF VIOLENCE

MONDAY 26 WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME
Reading Proverbs 3:27-34 
The Lord blesses the home of the virtuous

My son, do not refuse a kindness to anyone who begs it, if it is in your power to perform it. Do not say to your neighbour, ‘Go away! Come another time!  I will give it you tomorrow’, if you can do it now. Do not plot harm against your neighbor as he lives unsuspecting next door. Do not pick a groundless quarrel with a man who has done you no harm. Do not emulate the man of violence, never model your conduct on his; for the wilful wrong-doer is abhorrent to the Lord, who confides only in honest men. The Lord’s curse lies on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the virtuous. He mocks those who mock, but accords his favour to the humble.

Gospel Luke 8:16-18 Anyone who has will be given more

Jesus said to the crowds: ‘No one lights a lamp to cover it with a bowl or to put it under a bed. No, he puts it on a lamp-stand so that people may see the light when they come in. For nothing is hidden but it will be made clear, nothing secret but it will be known and brought to light. So take care how you hear; for anyone who has will be given more; from anyone who has not, even what he thinks he has will be taken away.’

Pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Mary, Ave Maria.

Saint Januarius, Bishop and Martyr pray for you as you celebrate your birthday today.

Keep me Lord in your peace. Preserve me O lord. Guide my soul. Father direct my ways. (Do not emulate the man of violence, never model your conduct on his)

Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. 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. Protect and defend me. 

 Lecture du livre des Proverbes 3, 27-34  « Le Seigneur a horreur des gens tortueux »
 
Mon fils, ne refuse pas un bienfait à qui tu le dois, quand ce geste est à ta portée. Ne dis pas à ton prochain : « Va-t’en, tu reviendras, je donnerai demain ! », alors que tu as de quoi. Ne travaille pas au malheur de ton prochain, alors qu’il vit sans méfiance auprès de toi. Ne cherche pas de vaine querelle à qui ne t’a pas fait de mal. N’envie pas l’homme violent, n’adopte pas ses procédés. Car le Seigneur a horreur des gens tortueux ; il ne s’attache qu’aux hommes droits. Malédiction du Seigneur sur la maison du méchant, bénédiction sur la demeure des justes. Il se moque des moqueurs, aux humbles il accorde sa grâce. Lecture Meditation

Évangile selon saint Luc 8, 16-18
« A celui qui a, on donnera ; et à celui qui n’a pas, même ce qu’il croit avoir sera enlevé

En ce temps-là, Jésus disait aux foules : « Personne, après avoir allumé une lampe, ne la couvre d’un vase ou ne la met sous le lit ; on la met sur le lampadaire pour que ceux qui entrent voient la lumière. Car rien n’est caché qui ne doive paraître au grand jour ; rien n’est secret qui ne doive être connu et venir au grand jour. Faites attention à la manière dont vous écoutez. Car à celui qui a, on donnera ; et à celui qui n’a pas, même ce qu’il croit avoir sera enlevé. »

Priez le Saint Rosaire : Je vous salue Marie,  Ave Maria

Garde-moi Seigneur dans ta paix. Préserve-moi, Seigneur. Guide mon âme. Père dirige mes voies. (N’envie pas l’homme violent, n’adopte pas ses procédés)

Saint Janvier évêques et martyr priez pour vous comme vous célébrez votre anniversaire aujourd'hui.

Seigneur Jésus-Christ j’ai confiance en toi. La Vierge Marie prie pour moi. Saint Joseph prie pour moi. Les saints anges et saints de Dieu prient pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien prie pour moi. Protégez-moi et défendez-moi.

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...
