‘If we ask anything according to his will,
he hears us’
Reading 1 John 5:14-21 If we
ask for anything, he will hear us
If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to
God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly.
There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should
pray. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly. We know that
anyone begotten by God does not sin; but the one begotten by God he protects,
and the Evil One cannot touch him. We know that we belong to God, and the whole
world is under the power of the Evil One. We also know that the Son of God has
come and has given us discernment to know the one who is true. And we are in
the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal
life. Children, be on your guard against idols.
Responsorial Psalm: The Lord takes
delight in his people.
Sing to the Lord a new song of praise in
the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel be glad in their maker, let the
children of Zion rejoice in their king.
Gospel John 3:22-30 'He must grow greater and I must grow
smaller: my joy is complete'
Jesus and his disciples went into the
region of Judea, where he spent some time with them baptizing. John was also
baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was an abundance of water there,
and people came to be baptized, for John had not yet been imprisoned.
Now a dispute arose between the disciples of John and a Jew about ceremonial
washings. So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with
you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone
is coming to him.
” John answered and said,
“No one can receive anything except what
has been given him from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said
[that] I am not the Messiah, but that I was sent before him. The one who has
the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him,
rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made
complete. He must increase; I must decrease.”
AELF: LUI, IL FAUT QU'IL GRANDISSE; ET MOI, QUE
JE DIMINUE
«Si nous faisons une demande selon sa
volonté, il nous écoute»
Évangile Jean 3,22-30 « Lui, il faut qu'il grandisse; et moi,
que je diminue, ma joie comblée »
Après cela, Jésus se rendit en Judée,
accompagné de ses disciples; il y séjourna avec eux, et il baptisait. Jean, de
son côté, baptisait à Aïnone, près de Salim, où l'eau était abondante. On
venait là pour se faire baptiser. En effet, Jean n'avait pas encore été mis en
prison.
Or, les disciples de Jean s'étaient mis à discuter avec un Juif à propos des
bains de purification. Ils allèrent donc trouver Jean et lui dirent: «Rabbi,
celui qui était avec toi de l'autre côté du Jourdain, celui à qui tu as rendu
témoignage, le voilà qui baptise, et tous vont à lui!».
Jean répondit:
«Un homme ne peut rien s'attribuer, sauf
ce qu'il a reçu du Ciel. Vous-mêmes pouvez témoigner que j'ai dit: Je ne suis
pas le Messie, je suis celui qui a été envoyé devant lui. L'époux, c'est celui
à qui l'épouse appartient; quant à l'ami de l'époux, il se tient là , il entend
la voix de l'époux, et il en est tout joyeux. C'est ma joie, et j'en suis
comblé. Lui, il faut qu'il grandisse; et moi, que je diminue».
