IN YOUR YOUTH REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR

SATURDAY WEEK 25 ORDINARY TIME
Reading Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:8
Remember your creator in the days of your youth
 
Rejoice in your youth, you who are young; let your heart give you joy in your young days. Follow the promptings of your heart and the desires of your eyes. But this you must know: for all these things God will bring you to judgement. Cast worry from your heart, shield your flesh from pain. Yet youth, the age of dark hair, is vanity.  Reading Reflection 

And remember your creator in the days of your youth, before evil days come and the years approach when you say, ‘These give me no pleasure’, before sun and light and moon and stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; the day when those who keep the house tremble and strong men are bowed; when the women grind no longer at the mill, because day is darkening at the windows and the street doors are shut; when the sound of the mill is faint, when the voice of the bird is silenced, and song notes are stilled, when to go uphill is an ordeal and a walk is something to dread. Yet the almond tree is in flower, the grasshopper is heavy with food and the caper bush bears its fruit, while man goes to his everlasting home. And the mourners are already walking to and fro in the street before the silver cord has snapped, or the golden lamp been broken,or the pitcher shattered at the spring, or the pulley cracked at the well, or before the dust returns to the earth as it once came from it, and the breath to God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, the Preacher says. All is vanity.

Pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Mary. Ave Maria.

God my Father I thank you for the new day. I pray for our youths today. I thank you for our youths. Father direct them in the right steps. Father in their desires and aspirations may they remember your judgement. Father may they remember that you alone are God.

Father, you desire us to obey you for to obey you is our preservation and salvation. Help us remember that we will all return back to when you take away your breath. When your breath leaves our bodies we shall return to dust for we are dust. 'Vanity of vanities, the Preacher says. All is vanity.'

May Saint Vincent Strambi, Bishop pray for you as you celebrate your birthday today.

Kindly listen to my chants Psalm 86. Please, like, follow and share. Thank you. God bless you.
Lecture du livre de Qohèleth 11, 9 – 12, 8
 « Souviens-toi de ton Créateur, aux jours de ta jeunesse, 
avant que la poussière retourne à la terre, et le souffle, à Dieu »

Réjouis-toi, jeune homme, dans ton adolescence, et sois heureux aux jours de ta jeunesse. Suis les sentiers de ton cÅ“ur et les désirs de tes yeux ! Mais sache que pour tout cela Dieu t’appellera en jugement. Éloigne de ton cÅ“ur le chagrin, écarte de ta chair la souffrance car l’adolescence et le printemps de la vie ne sont que vanité. Lecture Méditation

Souviens-toi de ton Créateur, aux jours de ta jeunesse, avant que viennent les jours mauvais, et qu’approchent les années dont tu diras : « Je ne les aime pas » ; avant que s’obscurcissent le soleil et la lumière, la lune et les étoiles, et que reviennent les nuages après la pluie ; au jour où tremblent les gardiens de la maison, où se courbent les hommes vigoureux ; où les femmes, l’une après l’autre, cessent de moudre, où le jour baisse aux fenêtres ; quand la porte se ferme sur la rue, quand s’éteint la voix de la meule, quand s’arrête le chant de l’oiseau, et quand se taisent les chansons ; lorsqu’on redoute la montée et qu’on a des frayeurs en chemin ; l’amandier est en fleurs, la sauterelle s’alourdit, et la câpre ne produit aucun effet ; lorsque l’homme s’en va vers sa maison d’éternité, et que les pleureurs sont déjà au coin de la rue ; avant que le fil d’argent se détache, que la lampe d’or se brise, que la cruche se casse à la fontaine, que la poulie se fende sur le puits ; et que la poussière retourne à la terre comme elle en vint, et le souffle de vie, à Dieu qui l’a donné. Vanité des vanités, disait Qohèleth, tout est vanité !

Priez le Sainte Rosaire: Je vous salue Marie. Ave Maria

Dieu mon Père, je te remercie pour ce nouveau jour. Je prie pour nos jeunes aujourd’hui. Je vous remercie pour nos jeunes, Père dirige les. Père, dans leurs désirs et leurs aspirations, fait qu’ils se souviennent de votre jugement. Père, qu’ils se souviennent que toi seul es Dieu.

Père, tu désires que nous t’obéissions car t’obéir est notre préservation et notre salut. Aide-nous à nous rappeler que nous reviendrons tous au moment où vous reprendrez votre souffle. Quand ton souffle quittera nos corps, nous retournerons à la poussière car nous sommes de la poussière. « Vanité des vanités, disait Qohèleth, tout est vanité ! »


Saint Vincent StrambiÉvêque prie pour vous comme vous célébrez votre anniversaire aujourd'hui.

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...
