HAPPY THE EYES THAT SEE WHAT YOU SEE

TUESDAY WEEK I IN ADVENT YEAR A
Reading Isaiah 11:1-10 A shoot springs from the stock of Jesse
A shoot springs from the stock of Jesse, a scion thrusts from his roots: on him the spirit of the Lord rests, a spirit of wisdom and insight, a spirit of counsel and power, a spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (The fear of the Lord is his breath.) He does not judge by appearances, he gives no verdict on hearsay, but judges the wretched with integrity, and with equity gives a verdict for the poor of the land. His word is a rod that strikes the ruthless, his sentences bring death to the wicked.... Universalis

Gospel Luke 10:21-24 No-one knows who the Son is except the Father

Filled with joy by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said:  ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.’  CDR

Then turning to his disciples he spoke to them in private, ‘Happy the eyes that see what you see, for I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it.’
 
Loving Father thank you for your Son Jesus Christ. Open my spiritual eyes Father that I may see your glory. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and grant me wisdom, knowledge and understanding.  You are my God abide with me with me Lord.  

Jesus I trust in you. Mother Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. Pray the Holy Rosary. 

Lecture du livre du prophète Isaïe 11, 1-10 « Sur lui reposera l’esprit du Seigneur »

En ce jour-là, un rameau sortira de la souche de Jessé, père de David, un rejeton jaillira de ses racines. Sur lui reposera l’esprit du Seigneur : esprit de sagesse et de discernement, esprit de conseil et de force, esprit de connaissance et de crainte du Seigneur – qui lui inspirera la crainte du Seigneur. Il ne jugera pas sur l’apparence ; il ne se prononcera pas sur des rumeurs. Il jugera les petits avec justice ; avec droiture, il se prononcera en faveur des humbles du pays. Du bâton de sa parole, il frappera le pays ; du souffle de ses lèvres, il fera mourir le méchant. La justice est la ceinture de ses hanches ; la fidélité est la ceinture de ses reins....

Évangile Luc 10, 21-24  « Jésus exulta de joie sous l’action de l’Esprit Saint »

À l’heure même, Jésus exulta de joie sous l’action de l’Esprit Saint, et il dit : « Père, Seigneur du ciel et de la terre, je proclame ta louange : ce que tu as caché aux sages et aux savants, tu l’as révélé aux tout-petits. Oui, Père, tu l’as voulu ainsi dans ta bienveillance. Tout m’a été remis par mon Père. Personne ne connaît qui est le Fils, sinon le Père ; et personne ne connaît qui est le Père, sinon le Fils et celui à qui le Fils veut le révéler. » Puis il se tourna vers ses disciples et leur dit en particulier : RC

« Heureux les yeux qui voient ce que vous voyez ! Car, je vous le déclare : beaucoup de prophètes et de rois ont voulu voir ce que vous-mêmes voyez, et ne l’ont pas vu, entendre ce que vous entendez, et ne l’ont pas entendu. » 

Père aimant, merci pour ton Fils Jésus-Christ. Ouvre mes yeux spirituels Père afin que je puisse voir ta gloire. Remplis-moi de Ton Saint-Esprit et accorde-moi  la sagesse, la connaissance et la compréhension. Tu es mon Dieu, demeure avec moi Seigneur. 

Jésus, j’ai confiance en toi. Mère Marie prie pour moi. Saint Joseph prie pour moi. Priez le Saint Rosaire.

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...
