‘Take notice of what you are hearing.
The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given'
First Reading 2 Samuel 7:18-19,24-29 'The house of your servant will be blessed for ever'
‘Now, O Lord, always keep the promise you have made your servant and his House, and do as you have said. Your name will be exalted for ever and men will say, “The Lord of Hosts is God over Israel.” The House of your servant David will be made secure in your presence, since you yourself, Lord of Hosts, God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, “I will build you a House”; hence your servant has ventured to offer this prayer to you. Yes, Lord, you are God indeed, your words are true and you have made this fair promise to your servant. Be pleased, then, to bless the House of your servant, that it may continue for ever in your presence; for you, Lord, have spoken; and with your blessing the House of your servant will be for ever blessed.’
Responsorial Psalm: The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
Gospel Mark 4:21-25 A lamp is to be put on a lampstand.
The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given
Jesus said to the crowd, ‘Would you bring in a lamp to put it under a tub or under the bed? Surely you will put it on the lamp-stand? For there is nothing hidden but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to this.’
He also said to them, ‘Take notice of what you are hearing. The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given – and more besides; for the man who has will be given more; from the man who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
AELF: “LE SEIGNEUR DE L’UNIVERS
EST LE DIEU”
«Faites attention à ce que vous entendez! La mesure dont vous vous servez servira».
Évangile Marc 4,21-25 « La
lampe est apportée pour être mise sur le lampadaire.
La mesure que vous
utilisez sera utilisée pour vous »
Jésus disait encore à ses disciples cette
parabole: «Est-ce que la lampe vient pour être mise sous le boisseau ou sous le
lit? N'est-ce pas pour être mise sur le lampadaire? Car rien n'est caché, sinon
pour être manifesté; rien n'a été gardé secret, sinon pour venir au grand jour.
Si quelqu'un a des oreilles pour entendre, qu'il entende!».
Il leur disait encore: «Faites attention à ce que vous entendez! La mesure dont
vous vous servez servira aussi pour vous, et vous aurez encore plus. Car celui
qui a recevra encore; mais celui qui n'a rien se fera enlever même ce qu'il a».
Lord God of
Hosts, you always keep your promise. Your reign is eternal. Everlasting Father,
King of glory. Father, I adore you. In the presence of your angels, I will sing
your praises. You are exalted over all the earth. O Lord, you rule for all
eternity.
Jesus, I trust
in you. Lord, nothing is hidden, nothing is secret. Open my ears to hear. Lord, to listen to you. Virgin Mary, pray for
me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. My Angel Guardian, pray for me. Pray the Rosary.
Seigneur Dieu
des armées, tu tiens toujours tes promesses. Ton règne est éternel. Père
éternel, Roi de gloire. Père, je t'adore. En présence de tes anges, je
chanterai tes louanges. Tu es exalté sur toute la terre. Ô Seigneur, tu règnes
pour l'éternité.
