GRACE AND MERCY AWAIT THOSE GOD HAS CHOSEN

COMMEMORATION OF ALL DEPARTED SOULS: Universalis

The Lord is my shepherd: there is nothing I shall want

First Reading Wisdom 3:1-9 The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God

CI: The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God, no torment shall ever touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, their going looked like a disaster, their leaving us, like annihilation; but they are in peace. If they experienced punishment as men see it, their hope was rich with immortality; slight was their affliction, great will their blessings be. God has put them to the test and proved them worthy to be with him; he has tested them like gold in a furnace, and accepted them as a holocaust. When the time comes for his visitation they will shine out; as sparks run through the stubble, so will they.

They shall judge nations, rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king for ever. They who trust in him will understand the truth, those who are faithful will live with him in love; for grace and mercy await those he has chosen.

Responsorial Psalm: The Lord is my shepherd: there is nothing I shall want

Second Reading Romans 5:5-11

Now we have been reconciled by the death of his Son, 

surely we may count on being saved by the life of his Son

Hope is not deceptive, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given us. We were still helpless when at his appointed moment Christ died for sinful men. It is not easy to die even for a good man – though of course for someone really worthy, a man might be prepared to die – but what proves that God loves us is that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. Having died to make us righteous, is it likely that he would now fail to save us from God’s anger? When we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, we were still enemies; now that we have been reconciled, surely we may count on being saved by the life of his Son? Not merely because we have been reconciled but because we are filled with joyful trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation.

Gospel Matthew 11:25-30 

You have hidden these things from the wise and revealed them to little children CDR: 

Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

My God, my Father thank you for your mercy and love. Father thank you for the souls of the virtuous are in your hands, no torment shall ever touch them. Father in the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, their going looked like a disaster, their leaving us, like annihilation; but they are in peace. If they experienced punishment as men see it, their hope was rich with immortality; slight was their affliction, great will their blessings be. 

Father in heaven accept the souls of our departed. Accept O Father the souls all the faithful departed. Accept Father wandering souls, and forgotten souls. Accept Father innocents souls all over the earth. Welcome them into your bossom. May they be united with our Master Jesus Christ and his blessed Mother Virgin Mary. Let them join your Holy Apostles and Saints sing your praise. You alone are God worthy of our worship and praise. I give praise my God, my Father.

Jesus I trust in you. Thank you Lord for everything about God's Kingdom has been entrusted to you. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. All Saints pray for me. Angels of God pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me. Protect me. Guide me.

Pray the Holy Rosary: Mary Queen of All Saints, my Queen pray for me.

EVANGELI

RC:  Mon Dieu, mon Père, merci pour ton miséricorde et pour ton amour. Père, merci car les âmes des vertueux sont dans tes mains, aucun tourment ne les touchera jamais. Père, aux yeux des insensés, ils semblaient mourir, leur départ ressemblait à un désastre, un anéantissement ; mais ils sont en paix. Tel que les hommes le voient ils ont connu le châtiment, mais leur espérance était riche d’immortalité ; Légère fut leur affliction, grande sera leur bénédiction.

Père céleste, accepte les âmes de nos défunts. Accueil, ô Père, les âmes de tous les fidèles qui sont partis. Accueil les âmes errantes du Père et les âmes oubliées. Accueil les âmes innocente. Accueillez-les, qu’ils soient unis à notre Maître Jésus-Christ et à sa bienheureuse Mère la Vierge Marie. Qu’ils joignent tes saints apôtres et les saints chantent tes louanges. Toi seul es Dieu digne de notre adoration et de notre louange. Je loue mon Dieu, mon Père.

Jésus, j’ai confiance en toi. Merci Seigneur pour tout ce qui concerne le Royaume de Dieu qui t’a été confié. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Toussaint, priez pour moi. Anges de Dieu, priez pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien prie pour moi. Protège-moi. Guide-moi.

Priez le Saint Rosaire : Marie, Reine de tous les Saints, ma Reine, priez pour moi.
