LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE

THURSDAY WEEK 32 ORDINARY TIME
Reading 2 John 4-9

The commandment which you have heard since the beginning is to live a life of love

It has given me great joy to find that your children have been living the life of truth as we were commanded by the Father. I am writing now, dear lady, not to give you any new commandment, but the one which we were given at the beginning, and to plead: let us love one another.  To love is to live according to his commandments: this is the commandment which you have heard since the beginning, to live a life of love.  There are many deceivers about in the world, refusing to admit that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. They are the Deceiver; they are the Antichrist. Watch yourselves, or all our work will be lost and not get the reward it deserves. If anybody does not keep within the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it, he cannot have God with him: only those who keep to what he taught can have the Father and the Son with them.  Reflection 

Lecture de la deuxième lettre de saint Jean 1a. 4-9

« Celui qui se tient à l’enseignement du Christ, celui-là reste attaché au Père et au Fils »

Moi, l’Ancien, à la Dame élue de Dieu, et à ses enfants, que j’aime en vérité. J’ai eu beaucoup de joie à trouver plusieurs de tes enfants qui marchent dans la vérité selon le commandement que nous avons reçu du Père. Et maintenant, Dame élue, je t’adresse une demande : aimons-nous les uns les autres. – Ce que je t’écris là n’est pas un commandement nouveau, nous l’avions depuis le commencement. Or l’amour, c’est que nous marchions selon ses commandements. Tel est le commandement selon lequel vous devez marcher, comme, depuis le commencement, vous l’avez appris. Beaucoup d’imposteurs se sont répandus dans le monde, ils refusent de proclamer que Jésus Christ est venu dans la chair ; celui qui agit ainsi est l’imposteur et l’anti-Christ. Prenez garde à vous-mêmes, pour ne pas perdre le fruit de notre travail, mais pour recevoir intégralement votre salaire. Quiconque va trop loin et ne se tient pas à l’enseignement du Christ, celui-là se sépare de Dieu. Mais celui qui se tient à cet enseignement, celui-là reste attaché au Père et au Fils.  Meditation

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...
