WE ARE GOD'S IMAGE

GOD'S WORD IS ETERNAL
Reading 1 John 4:19-5:4 ‘Anyone who loves God must also love his brother’

Beloved, we love God because he first loved us. If anyone says, «I love God», but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the Father loves also the one begotten by him. In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith.

Responsorial Psalm:  Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.

O God, with your judgment endow the king, and with your justice, the king's son; he shall govern your people with justice and your afflicted ones with judgment.

Gospel Luke 4:14-22 ‘This text is being fulfilled today, even as you listen’

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread throughout the whole region. He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all.

He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written: 

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.”

Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him. He said to them, “Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?”

AELF:NOUS SOMMES À L'IMAGE DE DIEU: La parole de dieu est éternelle

Évangile Luc 4,14-22 « Aujourd’hui s’accomplit ce passage de l’Écriture »

Lorsque Jésus, avec la puissance de l'Esprit, revint en Galilée, sa renommée se répandit dans toute la région. Il enseignait dans les synagogues des Juifs, et tout le monde faisait son éloge.


Il vint à Nazareth, où il avait grandi. Comme il en avait l'habitude, il entra dans la synagogue le jour du sabbat, et il se leva pour faire la lecture. On lui présenta le livre du prophète Isaïe. Il ouvrit le livre et trouva le passage où il est écrit: 

«L'Esprit du Seigneur est sur moi parce que le Seigneur m'a consacré par l'onction. Il m'a envoyé porter la Bonne Nouvelle aux pauvres, annoncer aux prisonniers qu'ils sont libres, et aux aveugles qu'ils verront la lumière, apporter aux opprimés la libération, annoncer une année de bienfaits accordée par le Seigneur».

Jésus referma le livre, le rendit au servant et s'assit. Tous, dans la synagogue, avaient les yeux fixés sur lui. Alors il se mit à leur dire: «Cette parole de l'Écriture, que vous venez d'entendre, c'est aujourd'hui qu'elle s'accomplit». Tous lui rendaient témoignage; et ils s'étonnaient du message de grâce qui sortait de sa bouche. Ils se demandaient: «N'est-ce pas là le fils de Joseph?».

Loving Father, your word is eternal. I want to serve you. Give me the desire to hear your word. Father, help me to love all your creatures.

Jesus Son of God, I trust in you. ‘O God, with your judgment endow the king, and with your justice, the king's son; he shall govern your people with justice and your afflicted ones with judgment’.

Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. My Angel Guardian, pray for me.

Pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Mary full of grace.

Père aimant, ta parole est éternelle. Je veux te servir. Donne-moi le désir pour ta parole. Père, aide-moi à aimer toutes tes créatures.

Jésus, Fils de Dieu, j'ai confiance en toi. « Ô Dieu, que ton jugement soit accordé au roi, et ta justice au fils du roi ; qu'il gouverne ton peuple avec justice et tes affligés avec droiture. »

Bienheureuse Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Mon Ange Gardien, priez pour moi.

Récitez le Saint 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...
