FRIDAY 5TH WEEK OF LENT: Universalis
‘Is it not written in your Law: I said, you are gods?'
First Reading Jeremiah 20:10-13
He has
delivered the soul of the needy from the hands of evil men
Responsorial Psalm: In my anguish I called to the Lord, and he heard my voice
Gospel John 10:31-42 They wanted to
stone Jesus, but he eluded them
CDR: The Jews
fetched stones to stone him, so Jesus said to them, ‘I have done many good
works for you to see, works from my Father; for which of these are you stoning
me?’ The Jews answered him, ‘We are not stoning you for doing a good work but
for blasphemy: you are only a man and you claim to be God.’
Jesus answered:
‘Is it not
written in your Law: I said, you are gods? So the Law uses the
word gods of those to whom the word of God was addressed, and
scripture cannot be rejected. Yet you say to someone the Father has consecrated
and sent into the world, “You are blaspheming,” because he says, “I am the son
of God.” If I am not doing my Father’s work, there is no need to believe me; but
if I am doing it, then even if you refuse to believe in me, at least believe in
the work I do; then you will know for sure that the Father is in me and I am in
the Father.’
They wanted to
arrest him then, but he eluded them. He went back again to the far
side of the Jordan to stay in the district where John had once been baptising.
Many people who came to him there said, ‘John gave no signs, but all he said
about this man was true’; and many of them believed in him.
My God, my Father in my anguish I called to
you, you heard my voice. I Sing praise to you, Lord, for you delivered my soul from
the hands of evil men. Father I have committed my cause to you. You Lord is at
my side, my mighty hero; my opponents will stumble, mastered, confounded by
their failure.
Jesus, I trust n you. You are the Son of
God Most High. Vrgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph 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.
