GET RIDE OF EVIL AND WICKEDNESS

MONDAY WEEK 23 ORDINARY TIME
 
 
 Reading from 1 Corinthians 5:1-8 Get rid of the old yeast of evil and wickedness

I have been told as an undoubted fact that one of you is living with his father’s wife. This is a case of sexual immorality among you that must be unparalleled even among pagans. How can you be so proud of yourselves? You should be in mourning. A man who does a thing like that ought to have been expelled from the community. Though I am far away in body, I am with you in spirit, and have already condemned the man who did this thing as if I were actually present. When you are assembled together in the name of the Lord Jesus, and I am spiritually present with you, then with the power of our Lord Jesus he is to be handed over to Satan so that his sensual body may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. Readings Reflection 

The pride that you take in yourselves is hardly to your credit. You must know how even a small amount of yeast is enough to leaven all the dough, so get rid of all the old yeast, and make yourselves into a completely new batch of bread, unleavened as you are meant to be. Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed; let us celebrate the feast, then, by getting rid of all the old yeast of evil and wickedness, having only the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Loving Father, I take my pride in you I am nothing without you. Thank you for your goodness none of my achievements in live is by me effort. I dedicate myself to you loving Father, let evil and wickedness not have dominion over me, over my life. Thank you for your Holy Spirit, Spirit of love and truth.

Pray the Holy Rosary. Ave Maria. Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Saint Joseph pray for me. God's Holy Angels and Saints pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me.

Your Birthday Saint. Saint Teresa of Calcuta. May she pray for you as you celebrate your birthday today.
Lecture 1 Corinthiens 5, 1-8
 « Purifiez-vous des vieux ferments, car notre agneau pascal a été immolé : c’est le Christ »

Frères, on entend dire partout qu’il y a chez vous un cas d’inconduite, une inconduite telle qu’on n’en voit même pas chez les païens : il s’agit d’un homme qui vit avec la femme de son père. Et, malgré cela, vous êtes gonflés d’orgueil au lieu d’en pleurer et de chasser de votre communauté celui qui commet cet acte. Quant à moi, qui suis absent de corps mais présent d’esprit, j’ai déjà jugé, comme si j’étais présent, l’homme qui agit de la sorte : au nom du Seigneur Jésus, lors d’une réunion où je serai spirituellement avec vous, dans la puissance de notre Seigneur Jésus, il faut livrer cet individu au pouvoir de Satan, pour la perdition de son être de chair ; ainsi, son esprit pourra être sauvé au jour du Seigneur. Lecture Méditation
 
Vraiment, vous n’avez pas de quoi être fiers : ne savez-vous pas qu’un peu de levain suffit pour que fermente toute la pâte ? Purifiez-vous donc des vieux ferments, et vous serez une pâte nouvelle, vous qui êtes le pain de la Pâque, celui qui n’a pas fermenté. Car notre agneau pascal a été immolé : c’est le Christ. Ainsi, célébrons la Fête, non pas avec de vieux ferments, non pas avec ceux de la perversité et du vice, mais avec du pain non fermenté, celui de la droiture et de la vérité.
 
Père aimant, je ne suis rien sans toi. Merci pour votre bonté, aucune de mes réalisations n’est mon effort. Je me dédie à toi Père aimant, que le mal et la méchanceté n’aient pas la domination sur moi, sur ma vie. Merci pour votre Saint-Esprit, Esprit d’amour et de vérité.

Priez la Sainte Rosaire: Ave Maria. Seigneur Jésus-Christ, j’ai confiance en toi.  Saint Joseph priez pour moi. Les saints anges et saints de Dieu prient pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien priez pour moi.

Sainte de Votre Anniversaire : Sainte Teresa de Calcutta priez 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 ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28  I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
