GOD NEVER COMANDED ANYONE TO BE GODLESS
6TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Universalis
The man who keeps them and teaches God's commandments will be considered great
First Reading Ecclesiasticus 15:16-21
If you wish, you
can keep the commandments, to
behave faithfully is within your power. He has set fire
and water before you; put
out your hand to whichever you prefer. Man has life and
death before him; whichever
a man likes better will be given him. For vast is the
wisdom of the Lord; he
is almighty and all-seeing. His eyes are on
those who fear him, he
notes every action of man. He never
commanded anyone to be godless, he
has given no one permission to sin.
Second Reading 1 Corinthians 2:6-10
God
predestined wisdom to be for our glory before the ages began
We have a wisdom
to offer those who have reached maturity: not a philosophy of our age, it is
true, still less of the masters of our age, which are coming to their end. The
hidden wisdom of God which we teach in our mysteries is the wisdom that God
predestined to be for our glory before the ages began. It is a wisdom that none
of the masters of this age have ever known, or they would not have crucified
the Lord of Glory; we teach what scripture calls: the things that no
eye has seen and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God
has prepared for those who love him.
These are the
very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit
reaches the depths of everything, even the depths of God.
Jesus said to
his disciples: ‘Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the
Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. I tell you solemnly,
till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, shall
disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved. Therefore, the man who
infringes even one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do
the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of heaven; but the man who
keeps them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of heaven. CDR
For I tell you,
if your virtue goes no deeper than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will
never get into the kingdom of heaven......
God my Father you gave man freedom of choice. He has life and death before him. Vast is your wisdom. Father you are mighty and all-seeing. Your eyes are on those who fear you. Teach us the number of our days that we may apply wisdom in our actions
Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Mother Mary pray for me. Saint joseph pray for me. God's Holy Angels and Saints pray for me. My Guardian Angels pray for me, guide me.
Pray the Holy Rosary. Hail Mary full of grace. Hail Holy Queen.
