GIVE WAY TO ONE ANOTHER IN OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST

TUESDDAY WEEK 30 IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading Ephesians 5:21-33 
Give way to one another in obedience to Christ

Give way to one another in obedience to Christ. Wives should regard their husbands as they regard the Lord, since as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church submits to Christ, so should wives to their husbands, in everything. Husbands should love their wives just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy. He made her clean by washing her in water with a form of words, so that when he took her to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless. In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself. A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because it is his body – and we are its living parts. For this reason, a man must leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one body. This mystery has many implications; but I am saying it applies to Christ and the Church. To sum up; you too, each one of you, must love his wife as he loves himself; and let every wife respect her husband. Readings Reflections

Gospel Luke 13:18-21

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

Lord Jesus Christ you are the head of the Church, saviour of humanity. You sacrificed yourself for the sake of the Church to make her holy. I pray today for all couples. May husbands love their wives as Christ. May they take up their responsibilities as heads of families. May the be ready to protect their wives and children. May they promote Christian values in families. Make all couples one, bring unity into families and homes. May all wives respect their husbands. 

Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph pray for us. Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you.
Lecture de la lettre de saint Paul apôtre aux Éphésiens 5, 21-33  
« Ce mystère est grand : je le dis en référence au Christ et à l’Église »
 
Frères, par respect pour le Christ, soyez soumis les uns aux autres ; les femmes, à leur mari, comme au Seigneur Jésus ; car, pour la femme, le mari est la tête, tout comme, pour l’Église, le Christ est la tête, lui qui est le Sauveur de son corps. Eh bien ! puisque l’Église se soumet au Christ, qu’il en soit toujours de même pour les femmes à l’égard de leur mari. Vous, les hommes, aimez votre femme à l’exemple du Christ : il a aimé l’Église, il s’est livré lui-même pour elle, afin de la rendre sainte en la purifiant par le bain de l’eau baptismale, accompagné d’une parole ; il voulait se la présenter à lui-même, cette Église, resplendissante, sans tache, ni ride, ni rien de tel ; il la voulait sainte et immaculée. C’est de la même façon que les maris doivent aimer leur femme: comme leur propre corps. Celui qui aime sa femme s’aime soi-même. Jamais personne n’a méprisé son propre corps : au contraire, on le nourrit, on en prend soin. C’est ce que fait le Christ pour l’Église, parce que nous sommes les membres de son corps. Comme dit l’Écriture : À cause de cela, l’homme quittera son père et sa mère, il s’attachera à sa femme, et tous deux ne feront plus qu’un. Ce mystère est grand : je le dis en référence au Christ et à l’Église. Pour en revenir à vous, chacun doit aimer sa propre femme comme lui-même, et la femme doit avoir du respect pour son mari. Lectures Méditation

Évangile Luc 13:18-21

Priez le Saint Rosaire. Je vous salue Marie. Ave Maria. Saint Joseph priez pour moi.

Seigneur Jésus-Christ, tu es le chef de l’Église, sauveur de l’humanité. Vous vous êtes sacrifiés pour l’amour de l’Église pour la rendre sainte. Je prie aujourd’hui pour tous les couples. Que les maris aiment leurs femmes comme le Christ. Qu’ils assument leurs responsabilités de chefs de famille. Qu’ils soient prêts à protéger leurs femmes et leurs enfants. Puissent-ils promouvoir les valeurs chrétiennes dans les familles. Faites en sorte que tous les couples soient un, apportez l’unité dans les familles et les foyers. Que toutes les femmes respectent leurs maris. 

La Sainte Famille de Jésus, Marie et Joseph prient pour nous. Seigneur Jésus-Christ, j’ai confiance en toi.

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...
