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 cÅ“ur, 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.

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...
