APPOINT LEADERS OF IRREPROACHABLE CHARACTER

MONDAY WEEK 32 IN ORDINARY TIME
Reading Titus 1:1-9 Appoint elders of irreproachable character

From Paul, servant of God, an apostle of Jesus Christ to bring those whom God has chosen to faith and to the knowledge of the truth that leads to true religion; and to give them the hope of the eternal life that was promised so long ago by God. He does not lie and so, at the appointed time, he revealed his decision, and, by the command of God our saviour, I have been commissioned to proclaim it. To Titus, true child of mine in the faith that we share, wishing you grace and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our saviour. 

The reason I left you behind in Crete was for you to get everything organised there and appoint elders in every town, in the way that I told you: that is, each of them must be a man of irreproachable character; he must not have been married more than once, and his children must be believers and not uncontrollable or liable to be charged with disorderly conduct. Since, as president, he will be God’s representative, he must be irreproachable: never an arrogant or hot-tempered man, nor a heavy drinker or violent, nor out to make money; but a man who is hospitable and a friend of all that is good; sensible, moral, devout and self-controlled; and he must have a firm grasp of the unchanging message of the tradition, so that he can be counted on for both expounding the sound doctrine and refuting those who argue against it.

Gospel Luke 17:1-6  If your brother does wrong, reprove him

Pray the Holy Rosary. Ave Maria. Hail Mary. Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph pray for us. Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you.   

God our Father thank you for another week, the first Monday in November 2022. As we begin  the week Father direct our steps, direct our actions.  Increase our faith Lord. Give us victory over every mountain in our lives. Grant us your salvation.

We pray for all leaders. God our Father give us insight and wisdom in selection of those who will lead us. We pray for all leaders, and all who govern the affairs of our world. May they be like your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Father for the leaders whose actions and leadership have caused lives of your creatures, may your Holy Spirit touch their hearts. Give them compassionate hearts to love and cherish those under their leadership. We pray for departed souls that died in violence, tragedy, war, due to negligence of leaders, or bad decisions that caused destruction to lives. We pray for souls in purgatory. Grant them eternal live. Grant them peace O Lord through Jesus Christ our Lord. 


Lecture de la lettre de saint Paul apôtre à Tite 1, 1-9 
 « Établis des Anciens comme je te l’ai commandé moi-même »

Paul, serviteur de Dieu, apôtre de Jésus Christ au service de la foi de ceux que Dieu a choisis et de la pleine connaissance de la vérité qui est en accord avec la piété. Nous avons l’espérance de la vie éternelle, promise depuis toujours par Dieu qui ne ment pas. Aux temps fixés, il a manifesté sa parole dans la proclamation de l’Évangile qui m’a été confiée par ordre de Dieu notre Sauveur. Je m’adresse à toi, Tite, mon véritable enfant selon la foi qui nous est commune : à toi, la grâce et la paix de la part de Dieu le Père et du Christ Jésus notre Sauveur.

Si je t’ai laissé en Crète, c’est pour que tu finisses de tout organiser et que, dans chaque ville, tu établisses des Anciens comme je te l’ai commandé moi-même. L’Ancien doit être quelqu’un qui soit sans reproche, époux d’une seule femme, ayant des enfants qui soient croyants et ne soient pas accusés d’inconduite ou indisciplinés. Il faut en effet que le responsable de communauté soit sans reproche, puisqu’il est l’intendant de Dieu ; il ne doit être ni arrogant, ni coléreux, ni buveur, ni brutal, ni avide de profits malhonnêtes ; mais il doit être accueillant, ami du bien, raisonnable, juste, saint, maître de lui. Il doit être attaché à la parole digne de foi, celle qui est conforme à la doctrine, pour être capable d’exhorter en donnant un enseignement solide, et aussi de réfuter les opposants.

Évangile Luc 17, 1-6 « Si sept fois par jour ton frère revient à toi en disant :
                                   “Je me repens”, tu lui pardonneras »

Priez le Saint Rosaire. Je vous salue Marie. Ave Maria. La Sainte Famille de Jésus, Marie et Joseph prient pour nous. Seigneur Jésus-Christ, j’ai confiance en toi.

Dieu notre Père merci pour une autre semaine, le premier lundi de novembre 2022. Comme nous commençons la semaine, Père dirige nos pas, dirige nos actions. Augmente notre foi Seigneur. Donne-nous la victoire pour maîtriser le combat et défi de la vie. Accorde-nous ton salut.

Nous prions pour tous les dirigeants. Dieu notre Père accorde nous la perspicacité et la sagesse dans la sélection de ceux qui nous dirigent. Nous prions pour tous les dirigeants et tous ceux qui gouvernent les affaires de notre monde. Qu’ils soient comme ton Fils Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur.

Père pour les dirigeants dont ses actes et la prépondérance ont causé la vie de vos créatures, que votre Saint-Esprit touche leurs cÅ“urs. Donnez-leur les cÅ“urs compatissants pour aimer et chérir ceux qui sont sous leur gérances. Nous prions pour les âmes défuntes qui sont mortes dans la violence, la tragédie, la guerre, et la négligence des dirigeants ou de mauvaises décisions. Nous prions pour les âmes au purgatoire. Accorde-leur la vie éternelle. Accorde-leur la paix, ô Seigneur par Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur.

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...

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...

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...
