THIS IS MY BELOVED SON

‘Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one’ 

First Reading Isaiah 42:1-4.6-7 
'Here is my servant, in whom my soul delights' 

Thus says the Lord: Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations, not crying out, not shouting, not making his voice heard in the street. A bruised reed he shall not break, and a smoldering wick he shall not quench, until he establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait for his teaching.

I, the Lord, have called you for the victory of justice, I have grasped you by the hand; I formed you, and set you as a covenant of the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.

Responsorial Psalm: The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Second Reading Acts 10:34-38 God had anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit

Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered in the house of Cornelius, saying: «In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.

»You know the word that he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him».

Gospel Matthew 3:13-17 'This is my Son, the Beloved'

 Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?” Jesus said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him. After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

AELF: « CELUI-CI EST MON FILS BIEN-AIMÉ »
« Voici mon serviteur que je soutiens, mon élu ».

Évangile Matthieu 3,13-17« Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé en qui je trouve ma joie. »

Alors Jésus, arrivant de Galilée, paraît sur les bords du Jourdain, et il vient à Jean pour se faire baptiser par lui. Jean voulait l'en empêcher et disait: «C'est moi qui ai besoin de me faire baptiser par toi, et c'est toi qui viens à moi!». Mais Jésus lui répondit: «Pour le moment, laisse-moi faire; c'est de cette façon que nous devons accomplir parfaitement ce qui est juste». Alors Jean le laisse faire. Dès que Jésus fut baptisé, il sortit de l'eau; voici que les cieux s'ouvrirent, et il vit l'Esprit de Dieu descendre comme une colombe et venir sur lui. Et des cieux, une voix disait: «Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé; en lui j'ai mis tout mon amour

God, my Father, you show no partiality. You have called me to victory. You have grasped me by the hand. You formed me, and set me as a covenant. A light for the nations through your Son Jesus Christ. Father, thank you for loving me. Father, give me your Holy Spirit.

Jesus, I trust in you. Mother Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for m. My Angel Guardian, pray for me.

Pray the Rosary: Hail Mary full of grace. 

Dieu, mon Père, tu est impartial. Tu m'as appelé à la victoire. Tu m'as pris par ta main. Tu m'as façonné, et tu as fait de moi une alliance. Une lumière pour les nations par ton Fils Jésus-Christ. Père, merci pour ton amour. Père, donne-moi ton Esprit Saint.

Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien, priez pour moi.

Récitez le Rosaire : Je vous salue Marie pleine de grâce.

GOD'S GIFTS

GOD'S GIFT Mathew 25:14-30 Jesus spoke this parable to his disciples: ‘The kingdom of Heaven is like a man on his way abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one; each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out. ‘The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more. The man who had received two made two more in the same way. But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. ‘Now a long time after, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. “Sir,” he said “you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made.” ‘His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have shown you can be faithful in small things, I will trust you with greater; co...

HE EXISTED BEFORE ME

First Reading 1 John 2:22-28 The anointing he gave you teaches you everything The man who denies that Jesus is the Christ  he is the liar, he is Antichrist; and he is denying the Father as well as the Son, because no one who has the Father can deny the Son, and to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father as well. Keep alive in yourselves what you were taught in the beginning: as long as what you were taught in the beginning is alive in you, you will live in the Son and in the Father; and what is promised to you by his own promise is eternal life. This is all that I am writing to you about the people who are trying to lead you astray. But you have not lost the anointing that he gave you, and you do not need anyone to teach you; the anointing he gave teaches you everything; you are anointed with truth, not with a lie, and as it has taught you, so you must stay in him. Live in Christ, then, my children, so that if he appears, we may have full confidence, and not turn from him...

BE CURED

Prayer before Mass:  Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the sacrament of Your only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eternal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Lord, in Your great generosity, heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my nakedness. May I receive the Bread of Angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the determined purpose that will help   to bring me to salvation.  May I receive the sacrament of the Lord’s Body and Blood, and its reality and power.  Kind God, may I receive the Body of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of the Virgin Mary, and so be received into His mystical body and numbered among His members.  Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrima...
