HE WAS, HE IS, AND HE IS TO COME

WEDNESDAY WEEK 33 IN ORDINARY TIME
READING   Apocalypse 4:1-11 He was, he is, and he is to come

In my vision, I, John, saw a door open in heaven and heard the same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying, ‘Come up here: I will show you what is to come in the future.’ With that, the Spirit possessed me and I saw a throne standing in heaven, and the One who was sitting on the throne, and the Person sitting there looked like a diamond and a ruby. There was a rainbow encircling the throne, and this looked like an emerald. Round the throne in a circle were twenty-four thrones, and on them I saw twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white robes with golden crowns on their heads....

GOSPEL Luke 19:11-28 The parable of the talents

While the people were listening, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they imagined that the kingdom of God was going to show itself then and there. Accordingly he said, ‘A man of noble birth went to a distant country to be appointed king and afterwards return. He summoned ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds. “Do business with these” he told them “until I get back.” But his compatriots detested him and sent a delegation to follow him with this message, “We do not want this man to be our king.”....

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.    

I love you Lord my strength. Father direct my path. Lead me, guide me, make me know your way.

‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty; he was, he is and he is to come.’
We glorify you, we give you honour and we gave thanks to you, the One sitting on the throne, who lives for ever and ever. We join the twenty-four elders in prostration themselves before you in worship to the One who lives for ever and ever. You are our Lord and our God, you are worthy of glory and honour and power, because you made all the universe and it was only by your will that everything was made and exists.

Lecture de l’Apocalypse de saint Jean 4, 1-11
« Saint ! Saint ! Saint, le Seigneur Dieu, le Souverain de l’univers, 
Celui qui était, qui est et qui vient »

Moi, Jean, après cela, j’ai vu : et voici qu’il y avait une porte ouverte dans le ciel. Et la voix que j’avais entendue, pareille au son d’une trompette, me parlait en disant : « Monte jusqu’ici, et je te ferai voir ce qui doit ensuite advenir. » Aussitôt je fus saisi en esprit. Voici qu’un trône était là dans le ciel, et sur le Trône siégeait quelqu’un. Celui qui siège a l’aspect d’une pierre de jaspe ou de cornaline ; il y a, tout autour du Trône, un halo de lumière, avec des reflets d’émeraude. Tout autour de ce Trône, vingt-quatre trônes, où siègent vingt-quatre Anciens portant des vêtements blancs et, sur leurs têtes, des couronnes d’or. Méditation

Évangile Luc 19, 11-28 « Pourquoi n’as-tu pas mis mon argent à la banque ? »
En ce temps-là, comme on l’écoutait, Jésus ajouta une parabole : il était près de Jérusalem et ses auditeurs pensaient que le royaume de Dieu allait se manifester à l’instant même. Voici donc ce qu’il dit : « Un homme de la noblesse partit dans un pays lointain pour se faire donner la royauté et revenir ensuite. Il appela dix de ses serviteurs, et remit à chacun une somme de la valeur d’une mine ; puis il leur dit : “Pendant mon voyage, faites de bonnes affaires.” Mais ses concitoyens le détestaient, et ils envoyèrent derrière lui une délégation chargée de dire : “Nous ne voulons pas que cet homme règne sur nous.”

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.

Je t’aime Seigneur ma force. Père dirige mon chemin. Dirige-moi, guide-moi, fais-moi connaître ton chemin.

« Saint ! Saint ! Saint, le Seigneur Dieu, le Souverain de l’univers, Celui qui était, qui est et qui vient. »  Nous te glorifions, nous te rendons honneur et nous te rendons grâce, Celui qui siège sur le Trône, qui vit pour les siècles des siècles. Nous nous joignons aux vingt-quatre anciens en prosternation dans l’adoration à Celui qui vit pour les siècles des siècles. Tu es notre Seigneur et notre Dieu, tu es digne de gloire, d’honneur et de puissance, parce que tu as fait tout l’univers et ce n’est que par ta volonté que tout a été fait et existe.

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...
