PURIFIED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

Readings The blood of Jesus Christ purifies us all from sin
This is what we have heard from Jesus Christ, and the message that we are announcing to you:
 
God is light; there is no darkness in him at all. If we say that we are in union with God while we are living in darkness, we are lying because we are not living the truth. But if we live our lives in the light, as he is in the light, we are in union with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we say we have no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth; but if we acknowledge our sins, then God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and purify us from everything that is wrong. To say that we have never sinned is to call God a liar and to show that his word is not in us. I am writing this, my children, to stop you sinning; but if anyone should sin, we have our advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is just; he is the sacrifice that takes our sins away, and not only ours, but the whole world’s.

Gospel Matthew 2:13-18 The massacre of the innocents
After the wise men had left, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.’ So Joseph got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, left that night for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod was dead. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: CDR

I called my son out of Egypt.

Herod was furious when he realised that he had been outwitted by the wise men, and in Bethlehem and its surrounding district he had all the male children killed who were two years old or under, reckoning by the date he had been careful to ask the wise men. It was then that the words spoken through the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled:

A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loudly lamenting: it was Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they were no more.

My Father, my God as we celebrate today’s Feast of Holy Innocents, our little Angels and Saints, I pray for the departed souls of every infant, every child. Father grant eternal rest to their souls.  Father I pray for aborted children, children killed by their leaders as a result of war and conflicts. Children abused and murdered by adults, children subjected to all forms of inhuman treatments. Children killed by their parents and abandoned children. Protect every child from danger.

Infant Jesus pray for all infants and children all over the world. Bring us peace and love. Dearest Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus Christ pray for all children. Saint Joseph you protected the infant Christ, protect all children. Jesus our Emmanuel we love and adore you. Blessed be God both now and for ever Amen.
PEE PURIFIÉ PAR LE SANG DE JÉSUS CHRIST
Lecture de la première lettre de saint Jean  1, 5 – 2, 2
« Le sang de Jésus nous purifie de tout péché »

Bien-aimés, tel est le message que nous avons entendu de Jésus Christ et que nous vous annonçons : Dieu est lumière ; en lui, il n’y a pas de ténèbres. Si nous disons que nous sommes en communion avec lui, alors que nous marchons dans les ténèbres, nous sommes des menteurs, nous ne faisons pas la vérité. Mais si nous marchons dans la lumière, comme il est lui-même dans la lumière, nous sommes en communion les uns avec les autres, et le sang de Jésus, son Fils, nous purifie de tout péché. Si nous disons que nous n’avons pas de péché, nous nous égarons nous-mêmes, et la vérité n’est pas en nous. Si nous reconnaissons nos péchés, lui qui est fidèle et juste va jusqu’à pardonner nos péchés et nous purifier de toute injustice. Si nous disons que nous sommes sans péché, nous faisons de lui un menteur, et sa parole n’est pas en nous. 

Mes petits enfants, je vous écris cela pour que vous évitiez le péché. Mais si l’un de nous vient à pécher, nous avons un défenseur devant le Père : Jésus Christ, le Juste. C’est lui qui, par son sacrifice, obtient le pardon de nos péchés, non seulement les nôtres, mais encore ceux du monde entier.

Évangile Matthieu 2, 13-18 « Hérode envoya tuer tous les enfants à Bethléem »

Après le départ des mages, voici que l’ange du Seigneur apparaît en songe à Joseph et lui dit : « Lève-toi ; prends l’enfant et sa mère, et fuis en Égypte. Reste là-bas jusqu’à ce que je t’avertisse, car Hérode va rechercher l’enfant pour le faire périr. » Joseph se leva ; dans la nuit, il prit l’enfant et sa mère, et se retira en Égypte, où il resta jusqu’à la mort d’Hérode, pour que soit accomplie la parole du Seigneur prononcée par le prophète : 

D’Égypte, j’ai appelé mon fils.

Alors Hérode, voyant que les mages s’étaient moqués de lui, entra dans une violente fureur. Il envoya tuer tous les enfants jusqu’à l’âge de deux ans à Bethléem et dans toute la région, d’après la date qu’il s’était fait préciser par les mages. 

Alors fut accomplie la parole prononcée par le prophète Jérémie : Un cri s’élève dans Rama, pleurs et longue plainte : c’est Rachel qui pleure ses enfants et ne veut pas être consolée, car ils ne sont plus.

Mon Père, mon Dieu, comme nous célébrons aujourd’hui la fête des SaintsInnocents, de nos petits anges et saints, je prie pour les âmes défuntes de chaque enfant. Père accorde le repos éternel à leurs âmes. Père je prie pour les enfants avortés, les enfants tués par leurs dirigeants à cause de la guerre et des conflits. Des enfants maltraités et assassinés par des adultes, des enfants soumis à toutes les formes de traitements inhumains. Enfants tués par leurs parents et enfants abandonnés. Protégez chaque enfant du danger.
 
 L’Enfant Jésus prie pour aux enfants du monde entier. Apporte-nous la paix et l’amour. Très chère Bienheureuse Vierge Marie, Mère de Jésus-Christ, priez pour tous les enfants. Saint Joseph, tu as protégé l’enfant Christ, protège-les. Jésus notre Emmanuel nous t’aimons et t’adorons. Béni soit Dieu maintenant et pour toujours Amen.

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...

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...

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...
