Tuesday in Ordinary Time
'Do you not yet understand?'
Happy the man who stands firm when trials come. He has proved himself, and will win the prize of life, the crown that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
Never, when you have been tempted, say, ‘God sent the temptation’; God cannot be tempted to do anything wrong, and he does not tempt anybody. Everyone who is tempted is attracted and seduced by his own wrong desire. Then the desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it too has a child, and the child is death.
Make no mistake about this, my dear brothers: it is all that is good, everything that is perfect, which is given us from above; it comes down from the Father of all light; with him there is no such thing as alteration, no shadow of a change. By his own choice he made us his children by the message of the truth so that we should be a sort of first-fruits of all that he had created.
Responsorial Psalm: Happy the man whom you teach, O Lord.
Gospel Mark 8:14-21 Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod
The disciples had forgotten to take any food and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. Then he gave them this warning, ‘Keep your eyes open; be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.’ And they said to one another, ‘It is because we have no bread.’ And Jesus knew it, and he said to them, ‘Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you not yet understand? Have you no perception? Are your minds closed? Have you eyes that do not see, ears that do not hear? Or do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of scraps did you collect?’ They answered, ‘Twelve.’ ‘And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of scraps did you collect?’ And they answered, ‘Seven.’ Then he said to them, ‘Are you still without perception?’
AELF:DIEU NE TENTE PERSONNE
«Vous ne comprenez pas encore?»
Évangile Marc 8,14-21 «Prenez garde au
levain des pharisiens et à celui d'Hérode!»
Les disciples
avaient oublié de prendre du pain, et ils n'avaient qu'un seul pain avec eux
dans la barque. Jésus leur faisait cette recommandation: «Attention! Prenez
garde au levain des pharisiens et à celui d'Hérode!». Ils discutaient entre eux
sur ce manque de pain. Il s'en aperçoit et leur dit: «Pourquoi discutez-vous
sur ce manque de pain? Vous ne voyez pas? Vous ne comprenez pas encore? Vous
avez le coeur aveuglé? Vous avez des yeux et vous ne regardez pas, vous avez
des oreilles et vous n'écoutez pas? Vous ne vous rappelez pas? Quand j'ai rompu
les cinq pains pour cinq mille hommes, combien avez-vous ramassé de paniers
pleins de morceaux?». Ils lui répondirent: «Douze». «Et quand j'en ai rompu
sept pour quatre mille, combien avez-vous rempli de corbeilles en ramassant les
morceaux?». Ils lui répondirent: «Sept». Il leur disait: «Vous ne comprenez pas
encore?».
God my Father, Father of all light, happy the one who stands firm when
trials come. Your reward is the prize of life. Father may your grace abide with
me. Save me from temptation. Save me from me. Keep far away from me wrong
desires. Remove every evil deeds from me. Give me a pure heart. Give me wisdom
to make a right choice.
Jesus, I trust in you. Lord make me understand your teaching. Virgin
Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. My angel guardian, pray for me.
Pray the Rosary.
Wednesday the 18th, is Ash Wednesday
Dieu mon Père, Père des lumières, heureux celui qui supporte
l’épreuve avec perseverance. Ta
récompense est la vie. Père, que ta grâce m'accompagne. Préserve-moi de la
tentation. Préserve-moi de moi-même. Éloigne de moi les mauvais désirs. Éloigne
de moi toutes mauvaises actions. Donne-moi un cœur pur. Guidez-moi, donne-moi
la sagesse.
Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Seigneur, fais-moi comprendre ton
enseignement. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Mon
ange gardien, priez pour moi. Priez le Rosaire.
Le mercredi 18 est le Mercredi des Cendres.
