TURN YOUR EAR TO ME O LORD

MONDAY WEEK 26 ORDINARY TIME 

Reading Job 1:6-22
The Lord gave, the Lord has taken back: blessed be the name of the Lord
One day the Sons of God came to attend on the Lord, and among them was Satan. So the Lord said to Satan, ‘Where have you been?’ ‘Round the earth,’ he answered ‘roaming about.’ So the Lord asked him, ‘Did you notice my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth: a sound and honest man who fears God and shuns evil.’ ‘Yes,’ Satan said ‘but Job is not God-fearing for nothing, is he? Have you not put a wall round him and his house and all his domain? You have blessed all he undertakes, and his flocks throng the countryside. But stretch out your hand and lay a finger on his possessions: I warrant you, he will curse you to your face.’ ‘Very well,’ the Lord said to Satan ‘all he has is in your power. But keep your hands off his person.’ So Satan left the presence of the Lord....... Reading Reflection

Gospel Luke 9:46-50
The least among you all is the greatest
An argument started between the disciples about which of them was the greatest. Jesus knew what thoughts were going through their minds, and he took a little child and set him by his side and then said to them, ‘Anyone who welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the least among you all, that is the one who is great.’ 

John spoke up. ‘Master,’ he said ‘we saw a man casting out devils in your name, and because he is not with us we tried to stop him.’ But Jesus said to him, ‘You must not stop him: anyone who is not against you is for you.’ 

Pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary. Ave Maria. Saint Joseph pray for me.

Lecture du livre de Job 1, 6-22
« Le Seigneur a donné, le Seigneur a repris : Que le nom du Seigneur soit béni ! »
Le jour où les fils de Dieu se rendaient à l’audience du Seigneur, le Satan, l’Adversaire, lui aussi, vint parmi eux. Le Seigneur lui dit : « D’où viens-tu ? » L’Adversaire répondit : « De parcourir la terre et d’y rôder. » Le Seigneur reprit : « As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job ? Il n’a pas son pareil sur la terre : c’est un homme intègre et droit, qui craint Dieu et s’écarte du mal. » L’Adversaire riposta : « Est-ce pour rien que Job craint Dieu ? N’as-tu pas élevé une clôture pour le protéger, lui, sa maison et tout ce qu’il possède ? Tu as béni son travail, et ses troupeaux se multiplient dans le pays. Mais étends seulement la main, et touche à tout ce qu’il possède : je parie qu’il te maudira en face ! » Le Seigneur dit à l’Adversaire : « Soit ! Tu as pouvoir sur tout ce qu’il possède, mais tu ne porteras pas la main sur lui. » Et l’Adversaire se retira.......... Lecture  Meditation

Évangile selon saint Luc 9, 46-50
« Le plus petit d’entre vous tous, c’est celui-là qui est grand »
Une discussion survint entre les disciples pour savoir qui, parmi eux, était le plus grand. Mais Jésus, sachant quelle discussion occupait leur cœur, prit un enfant, le plaça à côté de lui et leur dit : « Celui qui accueille en mon nom cet enfant, il m’accueille, moi. Et celui qui m’accueille accueille celui qui m’a envoyé. En effet, le plus petit d’entre vous tous, c’est celui-là qui est grand. » 

Jean, l’un des Douze, dit à Jésus : « Maître, nous avons vu quelqu’un expulser des démons en ton nom ; nous l’en avons empêché, car il ne marche pas à ta suite avec nous. » Jésus lui répondit : « Ne l’en empêchez pas : qui n’est pas contre vous est pour vous. »

Priez le Saint Rosaire. Je vous salue Marie. Ave Maria. Saint Joseph priez pour moi.
Saints Côme et Damien, martyrs prient 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 ...

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: ...
