THE SON OF MAN HAS COME TO SEEK WHAT WAS LOST
TUESDAY WEEK 33 IN ORDINARY TIME
If one of you hears me calling, I will come in to share his meal
I, John, heard the Lord saying to me: ‘Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, “Here is the message of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know all about you: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead. Wake up; revive what little you have left: it is dying fast. So far I have failed to notice anything in the way you live that my God could possibly call perfect, and yet do you remember how eager you were when you first heard the message? Hold on to that. Repent. If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, without telling you at what hour to expect me. There are a few in Sardis, it is true, who have kept their robes from being dirtied, and they are fit to come with me, dressed in white. Those who prove victorious will be dressed, like these, in white robes; I shall not blot their names out of the book of life, but acknowledge their names in the presence of my Father and his angels. If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”.... Fr. Martin's Homilies
Gospel Luke 19:1-10 Salvation comes to the house of Zacchaeus
Jesus entered Jericho and was going through the town when a man whose name was Zacchaeus made his appearance: he was one of the senior tax collectors and a wealthy man. He was anxious to see what kind of man Jesus was, but he was too short and could not see him for the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus who was to pass that way. When Jesus reached the spot he looked up and spoke to him: ‘Zacchaeus, come down. Hurry, because I must stay at your house today.’ And he hurried down and welcomed him joyfully. They all complained when they saw what was happening. ‘He has gone to stay at a sinner’s house’ they said. But Zacchaeus stood his ground and said to the Lord, ‘Look, sir, I am going to give half my property to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody I will pay him back four times the amount.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek out and save what was lost.
Pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary. Ave Maria
Lord
Jesus Christ, I seek you. Do not pass my by. Today salvation has come to my
house, because I am a child of God for you came seek out and save what was lost.
Come Lord Jesus, save me Lord.
Lecture de l’Apocalypse de saint Jean 3, 1-6. 14-22
« Si quelqu’un entend ma voix et ouvre la porte,j’entrerai chez lui ;
je
prendrai mon repas avec lui »
Évangile selon saint Luc 19, 1-10
« Le Fils de l’homme est venu chercher et sauver ce qui était perdu »
En ce temps-là , entré dans la ville de
Jéricho, Jésus la traversait. Or, il y avait un homme du nom de Zachée ; il
était le chef des collecteurs d’impôts, et c’était quelqu’un de riche. Il
cherchait à voir qui était Jésus, mais il ne le pouvait pas à cause de la
foule, car il était de petite taille. Il courut donc en avant et grimpa sur un
sycomore pour voir Jésus qui allait passer par là . Arrivé à cet endroit, Jésus
leva les yeux et lui dit : « Zachée, descends vite : aujourd’hui il faut que
j’aille demeurer dans ta maison. » Vite, il descendit et reçut Jésus avec joie.
Voyant cela, tous récriminaient : « Il est allé loger chez un homme qui est un
pécheur. » Zachée, debout, s’adressa au Seigneur : « Voici, Seigneur : je fais
don aux pauvres de la moitié de mes biens, et si j’ai fait du tort à quelqu’un,
je vais lui rendre quatre fois plus. » Alors Jésus dit à son sujet : «
Aujourd’hui, le salut est arrivé pour cette maison, car lui aussi est un fils
d’Abraham. En effet, le Fils de l’homme est venu chercher et sauver ce qui
était perdu. »
Priez le Saint Rosaire : Je vous salue Marie. Ave Maria.
Seigneur Jésus-Christ, je te cherche. Ne passez pas à côté de moi.
Aujourd’hui, le salut est venu chez moi, parce que je suis un enfant de Dieu,
car tu es venu chercher et sauver ce qui était perdu. Viens, Seigneur
Jésus, sauve-moi Seigneur.
