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.

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: ...
