BY YOUR ENDURANCE YOU WILL WIN

WEDNESDAY WEEK 34 IN ORDINARY TIME

Reading Apocalypse 15:1-4

The victors sang the hymn of Moses and of the Lamb

What I, John, saw in heaven was a great and wonderful sign: seven angels were bringing the seven plagues that are the last of all, because they exhaust the anger of God. I seemed to see a glass lake suffused with fire, and standing by the lake of glass, those who had fought against the beast and won, and against his statue and the number which is his name. They all had harps from God, and they were singing the hymn of Moses, the servant of God, and of the Lamb: Readings from Universalis

Gospel Luke 21:12-19 Your endurance will win you your lives

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Men will seize you and persecute you; they will hand you over to the synagogues and to imprisonment, and bring you before kings and governors because of my name – and that will be your opportunity to bear witness. Keep this carefully in mind: you are not to prepare your defence, because I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death. You will be hated by all men on account of my name, but not a hair of your head will be lost. Your endurance will win you your lives.’ Reflection MCL

‘How great and wonderful are all your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are all your ways,King of nations. Who would not revere and praise your name, O Lord? You alone are holy, and all the people will come and adore you for the many acts of justice you have shown.’ The hymn of Moses

Lecture de l’Apocalypse de saint Jean 15, 1-4 « Ils chantent le cantique de Moïse et le cantique de l’Agneau »

Moi, Jean, j’ai vu dans le ciel un autre signe, grand et merveilleux : sept anges qui détiennent sept fléaux ; ce sont les derniers, puisque s’achève avec eux la fureur de Dieu. J’ai vu comme une mer de cristal, mêlée de feu, et ceux qui sont victorieux de la Bête, de son image, et du chiffre qui correspond à son nom : ils se tiennent debout sur cette mer de cristal, ils ont en main les cithares de Dieu. Ils chantent le cantique de Moïse, serviteur de Dieu, et le cantique de l’Agneau. Ils disent :

Évangile Luc 21, 12-19 « Vous serez détestés de tous, à cause de mon nom. Mais pas un cheveu de votre tête ne sera perdu »

En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples : « On portera la main sur vous et l’on vous persécutera ; on vous livrera aux synagogues et aux prisons, on vous fera comparaître devant des rois et des gouverneurs, à cause de mon nom. Cela vous amènera à rendre témoignage. Mettez-vous donc dans l’esprit que vous n’avez pas à vous préoccuper de votre défense. C’est moi qui vous donnerai un langage et une sagesse à laquelle tous vos adversaires ne pourront ni résister ni s’opposer. Vous serez livrés même par vos parents, vos frères, votre famille et vos amis, et ils feront mettre à mort certains d’entre vous. Vous serez détestés de tous, à cause de mon nom. Mais pas un cheveu de votre tête ne sera perdu. C’est par votre persévérance que vous garderez votre vie. » Méditation par RC

« Comme toutes tes œuvres sont grandes et merveilleuses, Seigneur Dieu Tout-Puissant ; justes et vraies sont toutes vos voies, Roi des nations. Qui ne vénérerait pas et ne louerait pas ton nom, ô Seigneur ? Vous seul êtes saint, et tout le peuple viendra vous adorer pour les nombreux actes de justice que vous avez montrés. » le cantique de Moïse

Pope Saint Clement 1er prie pour vous comme vous fêtez votre anniversaire. Priez le Saint Rosaire. Je vous salue Marie. Ave Maria. Jésus Christ, j'ai confiance en toi.

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: ...
