BE LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN

TUESDAY WEEK 26 IN ORDINARY TIME: Universalis
Let my prayer come into your presence, O Lord

Reading Job  3:1-3,11-17,20-23 Why did I not perish on the day I was born?

Job broke the silence and cursed the day of his birth. This is what he said:May the day perish when I was born, and the night that told of a boy conceived.Why did I not die new-born,  not perish as I left the womb?Why were there two knees to receive me, two breasts for me to suck? Had there not been, I should now be lying in peace, wrapped in a restful slumber, with the kings and high viziers of earth  who build themselves vast vaults, or with princes who have gold and to spare  and houses crammed with silver. Or put away like a still-born child that never came to be, like unborn babes that never see the light. Down there, bad men bustle no more,  there the weary rest.

Why give light to a man of grief?  Why give life to those bitter of heart, who long for a death that never comes,  and hunt for it more than for a buried treasure? They would be glad to see the grave-moundand shout with joy if they reached the tomb.

Why make this gift of light to a man who does not see his way,  whom God baulks on every side?

Responsorial Psalm: Let my prayer come into your presence, O Lord.

Gospel Matthew 18:1-5
Unless you become like little children you will not enter the kingdom of heaven

The disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ So he called a little child to him and set the child in front of them. Then he said, ‘I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

‘Anyone who welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.’

Let us pray our Rosary, October is the month of the Holy Rosary: May our Blessed Mother pray for us. Jesus, I trust in you. Saint Joseph pray for me. Saint Terese pray for me. God's Holy Angels pray for me. My Angel Guardian pray for me.

Lecture: AELF

We sing to our Blessed Mother. May her maternal protection protect us, and bring us closer to her Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer.

Hail Thou Star of  Ocean
As the Dewy Shades

SAMEDI - SEMAINE DES CENDRES: AELF Montre-moi ton chemin, Seigneur, ECFR :Première Lecture  Isaïe  58,9b-14  Tu seras comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais Ainsi parle le Seigneur : Si tu fais disparaître de chez toi le joug, le geste accusateur, la parole malfaisante, si tu donnes à celui qui a faim ce que toi, tu désires, et si tu combles les désirs du malheureux, ta lumière se lèvera dans les ténèbres et ton obscurité sera lumière de midi.   Le Seigneur sera toujours ton guide. En plein désert, il comblera tes désirs et te rendra vigueur. Tu seras comme un jardin bien irrigué, comme une source où les eaux ne manquent jamais. Tu rebâtiras les ruines anciennes, tu restaureras les fondations séculaires. On t’appellera : « Celui qui répare les brèches », « Celui qui remet en service les chemins ». Si tu t’abstiens de voyager le jour du sabbat, de traiter tes affaires pendant mon jour saint, si tu nommes « délices » le sabbat et déclares « glorieux » le jour saint du Seig

ALLÉLUIA. ALLÉLUIA! VOICI LE JOUR QUE FIT LE SEIGNEUR: AELF Alléluia, alléluia, alléluia Première Lecture Actes  2,14.22-33 « Ce Jésus, Dieu l’a ressuscité ; nous tous, nous en sommes témoins »  Le jour de la Pentecôte, Pierre, debout avec les onze autres Apôtres, éleva la voix et leur fit cette déclaration : « Vous, Juifs, et vous tous qui résidez à Jérusalem, sachez bien ceci, prêtez l’oreille à mes paroles. Il s’agit de Jésus le Nazaréen, homme que Dieu a accrédité auprès de vous en accomplissant par lui des miracles, des prodiges et des signes au milieu de vous, comme vous le savez vous-mêmes. Cet homme, livré selon le dessein bien arrêté et la prescience de Dieu, vous l’avez supprimé en le clouant sur le bois par la main des impies. » Mais Dieu l’a ressuscité en le délivrant des douleurs de la mort, car il n’était pas possible qu’elle le retienne en son pouvoir. En effet, c’est de lui que parle David dans le psaume : Je voyais le Seigneur devant moi sans relâche : il est à

EASTER-TIDE TUESDAY SECOND WEEK : Universalis I speak to you about heavenly things  First Reading Acts 4:32-37  The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul; no one claimed for his own use anything that he had, as everything they owned was held in common.  The apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power, and they were all given great respect.  None of their members was ever in want, as all those who owned land or houses would sell them, and bring the money from them, to present it to the apostles; it was then distributed to any members who might be in need.  There was a Levite of Cypriot origin called Joseph whom the apostles surnamed Barnabas (which means ‘son of encouragement’). He owned a piece of land and he sold it and brought the money, and presented it to the apostles. Responsorial Psalm:  The Lord is king, with majesty enrobed. Gospel 3:7-15   No-one has gone up to heave
