THE LORD GOD WILL SHINE ON THEM

SATURDAY WEEK 34 IN ORDINARY TIME
Reading Apocalypse 22:1-7
The Lord God will shine on them; it will never be night again

The angel showed me, John, the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal-clear down the middle of the city street. On either side of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the pagans. Readings from Universalis

The ban will be lifted. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in its place in the city; his servants will worship him, they will see him face to face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. It will never be night again and they will not need lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will be shining on them. They will reign for ever and ever. 

The angel said to me, ‘All that you have written is sure and will come true: the Lord God who gives the spirit to the prophets has sent his angel to reveal to his servants what is soon to take place. Very soon now, I shall be with you again.’ Happy are those who treasure the prophetic message of this book.

Gospel Luke 21:34-36 That day will be sprung on you suddenly, like a trap

Jesus said to his disciples:  Reflection from CDR
‘Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened with debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will be sprung on you suddenly, like a trap. For it will come down on every living man on the face of the earth. Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man.’

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.   

God our Father in heaven, thank you for the gift of your Son Jesus Christ. He is the promised Messiah sent to redeem humanity. Lift the ban Father. We love you God our Father, come Lord Jesus.
Lecture de l’Apocalypse de saint Jean 22, 1-7
« La nuit aura disparu, le Seigneur Dieu les illuminera »

Moi, Jean, l’ange me montra l’eau de la vie : un fleuve resplendissant comme du cristal, qui jaillit du trône de Dieu et de l’Agneau. Au milieu de la place de la ville, entre les deux bras du fleuve, il y a un arbre de vie qui donne des fruits douze fois : chaque mois il produit son fruit ; et les feuilles de cet arbre sont un remède pour les nations.
 
Toute malédiction aura disparu. Le trône de Dieu et de l’Agneau sera dans la ville, et les serviteurs de Dieu lui rendront un culte ; ils verront sa face, et son nom sera sur leur  lampe ni de la lumière du soleil, parce que le Seigneur Dieu les illuminera ; ils régneront pour les siècles des siècles.

Puis l’ange me dit : « Ces paroles sont dignes de foi et vraies : le Seigneur, le Dieu qui inspire les prophètes, a envoyé son ange pour montrer à ses serviteurs ce qui doit bientôt advenir. Voici que je viens sans tarder. Heureux celui qui garde les paroles de ce livre de prophétie. »

Évangile Luc 21, 34-36  Meditation par RC
« Restez éveillés et priez en tout temps :
ainsi vous aurez la force d’échapper à tout ce qui doit arriver »

En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples : 
« Tenez-vous sur vos gardes, de crainte que votre cœur ne s’alourdisse dans les beuveries, l’ivresse et les soucis de la vie, et que ce jour-là ne tombe sur vous à l’improviste comme un filet ; il s’abattra, en effet, sur tous les habitants de la terre entière. Restez éveillés et priez en tout temps : ainsi vous aurez la force d’échapper à tout ce qui doit arriver, et de vous tenir debout devant le Fils de l’homme. »

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.
 
Dieu notre Père céleste, merci pour le don de ton Fils Jésus-Christ. Il est le Messie promis - envoyé pour racheter l’humanité. Lève l’interdiction Père. Nous t’aimons Dieu notre Père, viens Seigneur Jésus.

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: ...
