ANYONE WHO IS NOT AGAINST US IS FOR US
WEDNESDAY WEEK 7 IN ORDINARY TIME: Universalis
‘If it is the Lord’s will, we shall still be alive to do this or that’
First Reading James 4:13-17 You cannot know what will happen tomorrow
Here is the answer for those of you who talk like this: ‘Today or tomorrow, we are off to this or that town; we are going to spend a year there, trading, and make some money.’ You never know what will happen tomorrow: you are no more than a mist that is here for a little while and then disappears. The most you should ever say is: ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we shall still be alive to do this or that.’ But how proud and sure of yourselves you are now! Pride of this kind is always wicked. Everyone who knows what is the right thing to do and doesn’t do it commits a sin.
Responsorial Psalm: How happy are the poor in spirit: theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Gospel Mark 9:38-40 You must not stop anyone from working miracles in my name
CDR: John said to Jesus, ‘Master, we saw a man who is not one of us casting out devils in your name; and because he was not one of us we tried to stop him.’ But Jesus said, ‘You must not stop him: no one who works a miracle in my name is likely to speak evil of me. Anyone who is not against us is for us.
My
God, my Father, how blessed are the humble in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven. Father, rid me of all pride and make me humble. Tomorrow is
uncertain, I entrust my future to your divine providence. Let your will be
done.
Jesus, I put myrust in you. Lord, unite us in love. Remove envy and jealousy form my heart. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. Gods Angels and Saints pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me.
Let us pray the Holy Rosary: Mary Queen of Apostles pray for us.
