I AM NOT WORTHY TO HAVE UNDER MY ROOF

MONDAY WEEK 1 OF ADVENT
Reading Isaiah 4:2-6 The fruit of the earth shall be the pride and adornment of Israel's survivors

That day, the branch of the Lord shall be beauty and glory, and the fruit of the earth shall be the pride and adornment of Israel’s survivors. Those who are left of Zion and remain of Jerusalem shall be called holy and those left in Jerusalem, noted down for survival. Universalis

Gospel Matthew 8:5-11
'I am not worthy to have you under my roof: give the word, and my servant will be healed'

When Jesus went into Capernaum a centurion came up and pleaded with him. ‘Sir,’ he said ‘my servant is lying at home paralysed, and in great pain.’ ‘I will come myself and cure him’ said Jesus. The centurion replied, ‘Sir, I am not worthy to have you under my roof; just give the word and my servant will be cured. For I am under authority myself, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one man: Go, and he goes; to another: Come here, and he comes; to my servant: Do this, and he does it.’ When Jesus heard this he was astonished and said to those following him, ‘I tell you solemnly, nowhere in Israel have I found faith like this. And I tell you that many will come from east and west to take their places with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob at the feast in the kingdom of heaven.’ CDR

Lord I am not worthy to have you under my roof, only say a word and I shall be healed. Come Lord Jesus. Lord I believe you are the Son of God Most High. Jesus I trust in you. 

Pray the Holy Rosary. 
Lecture du livre du prophète Isaïe 4, 2-6  « Il sera la splendeur des rescapés d’Israël »

Ce jour-là, le Germe que fera grandir le Seigneur sera l’honneur et la gloire des rescapés d’Israël, le Fruit de la terre sera leur fierté et leur splendeur. Alors, ceux qui seront restés dans Sion, les survivants de Jérusalem, seront appelés saints : tous seront inscrits à Jérusalem pour y vivre.

Évangile Matthieu 8, 5-11
« Beaucoup viendront de l’orient et de l’occident 
et prendront place au festin du royaume des Cieux »

En ce temps-là, comme Jésus était entré à Capharnaüm, un centurion s’approcha de lui et le supplia : « Seigneur, mon serviteur est couché, à la maison, paralysé, et il souffre terriblement. » Jésus lui dit : « Je vais aller moi-même le guérir. » Le centurion reprit : « Seigneur, je ne suis pas digne que tu entres sous mon toit, mais dis seulement une parole et mon serviteur sera guéri. Moi-même qui suis soumis à une autorité, j’ai des soldats sous mes ordres ; à l’un, je dis : “Va”, et il va ; à un autre : “Viens”, et il vient, et à mon esclave : “Fais ceci”, et il le fait. » À ces mots, Jésus fut dans l’admiration et dit à ceux qui le suivaient : « Amen, je vous le déclare, chez personne en Israël, je n’ai trouvé une telle foi. Aussi je vous le dis : Beaucoup viendront de l’orient et de l’occident et prendront place avec Abraham, Isaac et Jacob au festin du royaume des Cieux. » RC

Seigneur, je ne suis pas digne de t’avoir sous mon toit, mais dis seulement une parole et je serai guéri. Viens, Seigneur Jésus. Seigneur, je crois que tu es le Fils du Dieu Très-Haut. Jésus, j’ai confiance en toi.

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...
