LET THE WISE UNDERSTAND FOR THE WAYS OF GOD ARE STRAIGHT

FRIDAY 3RD WEEK OF LENT Universalis
I am the Lord your God: listen to my warning
Reading Hosea 14:2-10 A call to conversion and promise of safety

The Lord says this:

Israel, come back to the Lord your God; your iniquity was the cause of your downfall. Provide yourself with words and come back to the Lord. Say to him, ‘Take all iniquity away so that we may have happiness again and offer you our words of praise. Evangeli

Assyria cannot save us, we will not ride horses any more, or say, “Our God!” to what our own hands have made, for you are the one in whom orphans find compassion.’ – I will heal their disloyalty, I will love them with all my heart, for my anger has turned from them. CDR

 I will fall like dew on Israel. He shall bloom like the lily, and thrust out roots like the poplar, his shoots will spread far; he will have the beauty of the olive and the fragrance of Lebanon. They will come back to live in my shade; they will grow corn that flourishes, they will cultivate vines  as renowned as the wine of Helbon. What has Ephraim to do with idols any more when it is I who hear his prayer and care for him? I am like a cypress ever green, all your fruitfulness comes from me.

 Let the wise man understand these words. Let the intelligent man grasp their meaning. For the ways of the Lord are straight, and virtuous men walk in them, but sinners stumble.

Lord make me know your ways. Lord teach me your truth. Give me wisdom, make me understand that your says are straight, the virtuous walk in them, and sinners stumble. Bring me back to you Father, let your face shine on me. Cleanse me from my iniquity so that I may offer you sacrifice of praise with joyful heart and thanksgiving. Make me obey your commandments to love you God with all my heart, and to love my neighbor.  This will transform our world and bring healing to all your creatures.

Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Sacred heart of Jesus thy Kingdom come. Sacred heart of Jesus I believe in your love for me. Sacred heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you. Immaculate heart of Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. God's Holy Angels and Saints pray for  me. My Guardian Angel pray for me.

Pray the Holy Rosary. Meditate upon the Stations of the Cross.

Psalm 51

SAMEDI - SEMAINE DES CENDRES: AELF Montre-moi ton chemin, Seigneur, ECFR :Première Lecture  Isaïe  58,9b-14  Tu seras comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais Ainsi parle le Seigneur : Si tu fais disparaître de chez toi le joug, le geste accusateur, la parole malfaisante, si tu donnes à celui qui a faim ce que toi, tu désires, et si tu combles les désirs du malheureux, ta lumière se lèvera dans les ténèbres et ton obscurité sera lumière de midi.   Le Seigneur sera toujours ton guide. En plein désert, il comblera tes désirs et te rendra vigueur. Tu seras comme un jardin bien irrigué, comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais. Tu rebâtiras les ruines anciennes, tu restaureras les fondations séculaires. On t’appellera : « Celui qui répare les brèches », « Celui qui remet en service les chemins ». Si tu t’abstiens de voyager le jour du sabbat, de traiter tes affaires pendant mon jour saint, si tu nommes « délices » le sabbat et déclares « glorieux » le jour saint du Seig

12E DIMANCHE DUTEMPS ORDINAIRE PEE La grâce divine venant d’un seul homme Premier Lecture Jérémie 20, 10-13 « Il a délivré le malheureux de la main des méchants » Moi Jérémie, j’entends les calomnies de la foule : « Dénoncez-le ! Allons le dénoncer, celui-là, l’Épouvante-de-tous-côtés. » Tous mes amis guettent mes faux pas, ils disent : « Peut-être se laissera-t‑il séduire… Nous réussirons, et nous prendrons sur lui notre revanche ! » Mais le Seigneur est avec moi, tel un guerrier redoutable : mes persécuteurs trébucheront, ils ne réussiront pas. Leur défaite les couvrira de honte, d’une confusion éternelle, inoubliable.  Seigneur de l’univers, toi qui scrutes l’homme juste, toi qui vois les reins et les cœurs, fais-moi voir la revanche que tu leur infligeras, car c’est à toi que j’ai remis ma cause. Chantez le Seigneur, louez le Seigneur : il a délivré le malheureux de la main des méchants. Seconde lecture Romains 5, 12-15  Le don gratuit de Dieu et la faute n’ont pas la même mesur

FRIDAY WEEK 8 IN ORDINATY TIME Universalis ‘Have faith in God Reading Ecclesiasticus 44:1,9-13 Let us praise illustrious men Let us praise illustrious men, our ancestors in their successive generations. Some have left no memory, and disappeared as though they had not existed, they are now as though they had never been, and so too, their children after them. But here is a list of generous men whose good works have not been forgotten. In their descendants there remains a rich inheritance born of them. Their descendants stand by the covenants and, thanks to them, so do their children’s children. Their offspring will last for ever, their glory will not fade Gospel Mark 11:11-26  The fig tree; the cleansing of the Temple After he had been acclaimed by the crowds, Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple.
