LORD WHY SHOULD YOUR ANGER BLAZE AGAINST YOUR PEOPLE

SUNDAY  WEEK 24 ORDINARY TIME YEAR C
The Lord relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened

The Lord spoke to Moses, ‘Go down now, because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have apostatised. They have been quick to leave the way I marked out for them; they have made themselves a calf of molten metal and have worshipped it and offered it sacrifice. “Here is your God, Israel,” they have cried “who brought you up from the land of Egypt!”’ the Lord said to Moses, ‘I can see how headstrong these people are! Leave me, now, my wrath shall blaze out against them and devour them; of you, however, I will make a great nation.’

But Moses pleaded with the Lord his God. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘why should your wrath blaze out against this people of yours whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with arm outstretched and mighty hand? Remember Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, your servants to whom by your own self you swore and made this promise: “I will make your offspring as many as the stars of heaven, and all this land which I promised I will give to your descendants, and it shall be their heritage for ever.”’  So the Lord relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

Lecture Exode 32, 7-11. 13-14
 « Le Seigneur renonça au mal qu’il avait voulu faire »

En ces jours-là, le Seigneur parla à Moïse : « Va, descends, car ton peuple s’est corrompu, lui que tu as fait monter du pays d’Égypte. Ils n’auront pas mis longtemps à s’écarter du chemin que je leur avais ordonné de suivre ! Ils se sont fait un veau en métal fondu et se sont prosternés devant lui. Ils lui ont offert des sacrifices en proclamant : “Israël, voici tes dieux, qui t’ont fait monter du pays d’Égypte.” » 
Le Seigneur dit encore à Moïse : « Je vois que ce peuple est un peuple à la nuque raide. Maintenant, laisse-moi faire ; ma colère va s’enflammer contre eux et je vais les exterminer ! Mais, de toi, je ferai une grande nation. »  Lecture Méditation

Moïse apaisa le visage du Seigneur son Dieu en disant : « Pourquoi, Seigneur, ta colère s’enflammerait-elle contre ton peuple, que tu as fait sortir du pays d’Égypte par ta grande force et ta main puissante ? Souviens-toi de tes serviteurs, Abraham, Isaac et Israël, à qui tu as juré par toi-même : “Je multiplierai votre descendance comme les étoiles du ciel ; je donnerai, comme je l’ai dit, tout ce pays à vos descendants, et il sera pour toujours leur héritage.” » Le Seigneur renonça au mal qu’il avait voulu faire à son peuple.

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: ...
