THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUNESS WILL SHINE

33RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Readings Malachi 3:19-20 For you the sun of righteousness will shine out

The day is coming now, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and the evil-doers will be like stubble. The day that is coming is going to burn them up, says the Lord of Hosts, leaving them neither root nor stalk. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will shine out with healing in its rays.

Second Reading 2 Thessalonians 3:7-12 Do not let anyone have food if he refuses to work

You know how you are supposed to imitate us: now we were not idle when we were with you, nor did we ever have our meals at anyone’s table without paying for them; no, we worked night and day, slaving and straining, so as not to be a burden on any of you. This was not because we had no right to be, but in order to make ourselves an example for you to follow.....

Gospel Luke 21:5-19 The destruction of the Temple foretold

When some were talking about the Temple, remarking how it was adorned with fine stonework and votive offerings, Jesus said, ‘All these things you are staring at now – the time will come when not a single stone will be left on another: everything will be destroyed.’ And they put to him this question: ‘Master,’ they said ‘when will this happen, then, and what sign will there be that this is about to take place?’......... Reflection Fr. Martin

God my Father, may your Holy Spirit enlighten me, teach me to trust in you. Help me in my spiritual journey, may you Kingdom come Father.

Pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary. Ave Maria
Lecture du livre du prophète Malachie 3, 19-20a « Pour vous, le Soleil de justice se lèvera »

Voici que vient le jour du Seigneur, brûlant comme la fournaise. Tous les arrogants, tous ceux qui commettent l’impiété, seront de la paille. Le jour qui vient les consumera, – dit le Seigneur de l’univers –, il ne leur laissera ni racine ni branche. Mais pour vous qui craignez mon nom, le Soleil de justice se lèvera : il apportera la guérison dans son rayonnement. Meditation 

Seconde lecture de la deuxième lettre de saint Paul apôtre aux Thessaloniciens 3, 7-12
 « Si quelqu’un ne veut pas travailler, qu’il ne mange pas non plus »

Frères, vous savez bien, vous, ce qu’il faut faire pour nous imiter. Nous n’avons pas vécu parmi vous de façon désordonnée ; et le pain que nous avons mangé, nous ne l’avons pas reçu gratuitement. Au contraire, dans la peine et la fatigue, nuit et jour, nous avons travaillé pour n’être à la charge d’aucun d’entre vous. Bien sûr, nous avons le droit d’être à charge, mais nous avons voulu être pour vous un modèle à imiter…..
 
Évangile Luc 21, 5-19 « C’est par votre persévérance que vous garderez votre vie »

En ce temps-là, comme certains disciples parlaient du Temple, des belles pierres et des ex-voto qui le décoraient, Jésus leur déclara : « Ce que vous contemplez, des jours viendront où il n’en restera pas pierre sur pierre : tout sera détruit. » Ils lui demandèrent : « Maître, quand cela arrivera-t‑il ? Et quel sera le signe que cela est sur le point d’arriver ? » ....

Dieu mon Père, que ton Esprit Saint m’éclaire, m’apprenne à avoir confiance en toi. Aide-moi dans mon cheminement spirituel, que ton Royaume vienne Père.

Priez le Saint Rosaire : Je vous salue Marie. Ave Maria.

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...

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...

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...
