I put to you the
duty of doing all that you have been told
Before God the source of all life and before Christ, who spoke up as a witness for the truth in front of Pontius Pilate, I put to you the duty of doing all that you have been told, with no faults or failures, until the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who at the due time will be revealed by God, the blessed and only Ruler of all, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who alone is immortal, whose home is in inaccessible light, whom no man has seen and no man is able to see: to him be honour and everlasting power. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm: Come before the Lord, singing for joyGospel Luke 8:4-15 The parable of
the sower
CDR: With a large
crowd gathering and people from every town finding their way to him, Jesus used
this parable:
‘A
sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell on the edge of the path
and was trampled on; and the birds of the air ate it up. Some seed fell on
rock, and when it came up it withered away, having no moisture. Some seed fell
amongst thorns and the thorns grew with it and choked it. And some seed fell
into rich soil and grew and produced its crop a hundredfold.’ Saying this he
cried, ‘Listen, anyone who has ears to hear!’
His
disciples asked him what this parable might mean, and he said, ‘The mysteries
of the kingdom of God are revealed to you; for the rest there are only
parables, so that they may see but
not perceive, listen but not
understand.
‘This, then, is
what the parable means: the seed is the word of God. Those on the edge of the
path are people who have heard it, and then the devil comes and carries away
the word from their hearts in case they should believe and be saved. Those on
the rock are people who, when they first hear it, welcome the word with joy.
But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of trial they
give up. As for the part that fell into thorns, this is people who have heard,
but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries and riches and
pleasures of life and do not reach maturity. As for the part in the rich soil,
this is people with a noble and generous heart who have heard the word and take
it to themselves and yield a harvest through their perseverance.’
God my Father you are the
source of all life. Make me understand the teachings of the Catholic Church for in it lies the mysteries of your Kingdom. The mystery of all mysteries is that your Son Jesus Christ came to redeem your creatures. He is the origin and wisdom of your mysteries. He came to reveal you to humanity that we may come to the true knowledge of you Father of all creation.
Listen, anyone who has ears to hear say my Lord and Master. Father open my ears to hear your Son Jesus Christ. May I obey and follow my Lord Jesus Christ commands and be blameless until he appears, and is revealed by you Father, the blessed and only Ruler
of all. You my God is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. You alone Father is immortal. Your home is in inaccessible light, whom no man has seen and no man is able to see. To you Father be honour and everlasting power.
Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Make me obey your commands. You are my redeemer. Blessed Virgin Mary pray for me, you listened to God and obeyed His voice. Saint Joseph pray for me, you listened and obeyed God's command. Saint Pius of Pietrelcina pray for me. God's Angels and Saints pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me.
Pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Mary full of grace. Hail Mother of Christ my Redeemer.
