THEY WENT FROM PLACE TO PLACE PREACHING

WEDNESDAY 3RD WEEK OF EASTER Universalis

Reading Acts8:1-8 They went from place to place, preaching the Good News

That day a bitter persecution started against the church in Jerusalem, and everyone except the apostles fled to the country districts of Judaea and Samaria.

There were some devout people, however, who buried Stephen and made great mourning for him. Saul then worked for the total destruction of the Church; he went from house to house arresting both men and women and sending them to prison. CDR

Those who had escaped went from place to place preaching the Good News. One of them was Philip who went to a Samaritan town and proclaimed the Christ to them. The people united in welcoming the message Philip preached, either because they had heard of the miracles he worked or because they saw them for themselves. There were, for example, unclean spirits that came shrieking out of many who were possessed, and several paralytics and cripples were cured. As a result there was great rejoicing in that town.

Be my refuge Lord. Protect me from ye enemies. Protect me from those after my life. Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. My Guardian Angel protect me.

Pray your Holy Rosary. Our Mother of Perpetual Help pray for me

MERCRED 3E SEMAINE DE PAQUES PEE

Lecture du livre des Actes des Apôtres 8, 1b-8

« Ceux qui s’étaient dispersés annonçaient la Bonne Nouvelle de la Parole là où ils passaient »

Le jour de la mort d’Étienne, éclata une violente persécution contre l’Église de Jérusalem. Tous se dispersèrent dans les campagnes de Judée et de Samarie, à l’exception des Apôtres.

Des hommes religieux ensevelirent Étienne et célébrèrent pour lui un grand deuil. Quant à Saul, il ravageait l’Église, il pénétrait dans les maisons, pour en arracher hommes et femmes, et les jeter en prison. Evangeli

Ceux qui s’étaient dispersés annonçaient la Bonne Nouvelle de la Parole là où ils passaient. C’est ainsi que Philippe, l’un des Sept, arriva dans une ville de Samarie, et là il proclamait le Christ. Les foules, d’un même cœur, s’attachaient à ce que disait Philippe, car elles entendaient parler des signes qu’il accomplissait, ou même les voyaient. Beaucoup de possédés étaient délivrés des esprits impurs, qui sortaient en poussant de grands cris. Beaucoup de paralysés et de boiteux furent guéris. Et il y eut dans cette ville une grande joie. RC

Sois mon refuge Seigneur. Protégez-moi de vos ennemis. Protégez-moi de ceux qui ont suivi ma vie. Seigneur Jésus-Christ, j’ai confiance en toi. La Vierge Marie prie pour moi. Saint Joseph prie pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien protège-moi.

Priez votre Saint Rosaire. Notre Mère du Secours Perpétuel 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: ...
