BE ALERT TO GOD'S COMMANDMENTS

FRIDAY 2ND WEEK IN ADVENT
Reading Isaiah 48:17-19 
If you had been alert to my commandments, your happiness would have been like a river
 
Thus says the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I, the Lord, your God, teach you what is good for you, I lead you in the way that you must go. If only you had been alert to my commandments, your happiness would have been like a river, your integrity like the waves of the sea. Your children would have been numbered like the sand, your descendants as many as its grains. Never would your name have been cut off or blotted out before me. Universalis
 
Gospel Matthew 11:16-19 They heed neither John nor the Son of Man
 
Jesus spoke to the crowds: ‘What description can I find for this generation? It is like children shouting to each other as they sit in the market place: CDR
 
“We played the pipes for you, and you wouldn’t dance; we sang dirges, and you wouldn’t be mourners.”
 
‘For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, “He is possessed.” The Son of Man came, eating and drinking, and they say, “Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.” Yet wisdom has been proved right by her actions.’

God my Father, my redeemer, you are Holy, Father teach me on the right path. Keep me alert to your commandments for they give joy to the heart. Father may my integrity be like the wave of the sea. May my name never be blotted from your sight my God, my Father. Keep me do not abandon me Father. 

Jesus I trust in you. Come Lord Jesus Christ our King of Glory. Pray the Holy Rosary. Saint Joseph pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me. Protect and guard me.

Lecture du livre du prophète Isaïe 48, 17-19
 « Si tu avais prêté attention à mes commandements ! »

Ainsi parle le Seigneur, ton rédempteur, Saint d’Israël : Je suis le Seigneur ton Dieu, je te donne un enseignement utile, je te guide sur le chemin où tu marches. Si seulement tu avais prêté attention à mes commandements, ta paix serait comme un fleuve, ta justice, comme les flots de la mer. Ta postérité serait comme le sable, comme les grains de sable, ta descendance ; son nom ne serait ni retranché ni effacé devant moi. 
 
Évangile Matthieu 11, 16-19 Ils n’écoutent ni Jean ni le Fils de l’homme

En ce temps-là, Jésus déclarait aux foules : « À qui vais-je comparer cette génération ? Elle ressemble à des gamins assis sur les places, qui en interpellent d’autres en disant : 

“Nous vous avons joué de la flûte, et vous n’avez pas dansé. Nous avons chanté des lamentations, et vous ne vous êtes pas frappé la poitrine.”  RC

Jean est venu, en effet ; il ne mange pas, il ne boit pas, et l’on dit : “C’est un possédé !” Le Fils de l’homme est venu ; il mange et il boit, et l’on dit : “Voilà un glouton et un ivrogne, un ami des publicains et des pécheurs.” Mais la sagesse de Dieu a été reconnue juste à travers ce qu’elle fait. »
 
Dieu mon Père, mon Rédempteur, tu es saint, Père enseigne-moi sur le droit chemin. Que je sois attentif à tes commandements, car ils donnent la joie au cÅ“ur. Père que mon intégrité soit comme la vague de la mer. Que mon nom ne soit jamais effacé de ta vue, mon Dieu, mon Père. Garde-moi, ne m’abandonne pas Père.

Jésus, j’ai confiance en toi. Viens, Seigneur Jésus-Christ, notre Roi de gloire. Priez le Saint Rosaire. Saint Joseph prie pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien prie pour moi. Protégez-moi et gardez-moi.

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: ...
