LIFE MADE VISIBLE

First Reading 1 John 1:1-4  The Word, who is life - this is our subject
Something which has existed since the beginning, that we have heard, and we have seen with our own eyes; that we have watched and touched with our hands: the Word, who is life – this is our subject. That life was made visible: we saw it and we are giving our testimony, telling you of the eternal life which was with the Father and has been made visible to us. What we have seen and heard we are telling you so that you too may be in union with us, as we are in union with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. We are writing this to you to make our own joy complete. Universalis
 
Gospel John 20:2-8 The other disciple saw, and he believed

On the first day of the week Mary of Magdala came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’
 
So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. CDR

Feast of St. John the Evangelist: May he pray for you as you celebrate your birthday today. Pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary full of grace. Hail Holy Queen. Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. God's Holy Angels and Saints pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me.
Lecture de la première lettre de saint Jean 1, 1-4  
« Ce que nous avons vu et entendu, nous vous l’annonçons »

Bien-aimés, ce qui était depuis le commencement, ce que nous avons entendu, ce que nous avons vu de nos yeux, ce que nous avons contemplé et que nos mains ont touché du Verbe de vie, nous vous l’annonçons. Oui, la vie s’est manifestée, nous l’avons vue, et nous rendons témoignage : nous vous annonçons la vie éternelle qui était auprès du Père et qui s’est manifestée à nous. Ce que nous avons vu et entendu, nous vous l’annonçons à vous aussi, pour que, vous aussi, vous soyez en communion avec nous. Or nous sommes, nous aussi, en communion avec le Père et avec son Fils, Jésus Christ. Et nous écrivons cela, afin que notre joie soit parfaite.

« L’autre disciple courut plus vite que Pierre et arriva le premier au tombeau »

Le premier jour de la semaine, Marie Madeleine courut trouver Simon-Pierre et l’autre disciple, celui que Jésus aimait, et elle leur dit : « On a enlevé le Seigneur de son tombeau, et nous ne savons pas où on l’a déposé. » Pierre partit donc avec l’autre disciple pour se rendre au tombeau. Ils couraient tous les deux ensembles, mais l’autre disciple courut plus vite que Pierre et arriva le premier au tombeau. En se penchant, il s’aperçoit que les linges sont posés à plat ; cependant il n’entre pas. Simon-Pierre, qui le suivait, arrive à son tour. Il entre dans le tombeau ; il aperçoit les linges, posés à plat, ainsi que le suaire qui avait entouré la tête de Jésus, non pas posé avec les linges, mais roulé à part à sa place. C’est alors qu’entra l’autre disciple, lui qui était arrivé le premier au tombeau. Il vit, et il crut. RC

Fête de saint Jean l’Evangéliste : Qu’il prie pour vous comme vous célébrez votre anniversaire aujourd’hui. Priez le Saint Rosaire. Je vous salue Marie pleine de grâce. Je vous salue Sainte Reine. Seigneur Jésus-Christ, j’ai confiance en toi. Les saints anges et saints de Dieu prient pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien prie pour 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: ...
