LORD, WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU

MONDAY WEEK 2 OF LENT
‘Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate.'

First Reading Daniel 9:4-10 Yours is the integrity, Lord; ours the shame

O Lord, God great and to be feared, you keep the covenant and have kindness for those who love you and keep your commandments: we have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly, we have betrayed your commandments and your ordinances and turned away from them. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, our ancestors, and to all the people of the land. Integrity, Lord, is yours; ours the look of shame we wear today, we, the people of Judah, the citizens of Jerusalem, the whole of Israel, near and far away, in every country to which you have dispersed us because of the treason we have committed against you. To us, Lord, the look of shame belongs, to our kings, our princes, our ancestors, because we have sinned against you. To the Lord our God mercy and pardon belong, because we have betrayed him, and have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God nor followed the laws he has given us through his servants the prophets.

Responsorial Psalm: Do not treat us according to our sins, O Lord.

Gospel Luke 6:36-38 Grant pardon, and you will be pardoned

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate. Do not judge, and you will not be judged yourselves; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned yourselves; grant pardon, and you will be pardoned. Give, and there will be gifts for you: a full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap; because the amount you measure out is the amount you will be given back.’

My Father in heaven, you are great and to be feard, Everlasting Father, you are full of compassion. Merciful Father, have mercy on me. Lord, I have sinned against you. Father, forgive me for yours is integrity, and faithfulness. Jesus, I trust in you. Lord it is very easy to see the wrong of others, while I fail to see my own faults, Help me, my Lord and, my Redeemer. Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. My angel guardian, pray for me. Pray the Rosary: The Sorrowful Mysteries.

Sometimes we say, 'I can't forgive myself.' Paul in Romans 8:1 'Those who are in Christ Jesus are not condemned, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin of death.' 

AELF: lundi, 2ème Semaine de Carême
SEIGNEUR, NOUS AVONS PÉCHÉ CONTRE TOI
«Soyez miséricordieux comme votre Père est miséricordieux.»

Évangile Luc 6, 36-38 «Pardonnez, et vous serez pardonnés»

En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples : «Soyez miséricordieux comme votre Père est miséricordieux. Ne jugez pas, et vous ne serez pas jugés ; ne condamnez pas, et vous ne serez pas condamnés. Pardonnez, et vous serez pardonnés. Donnez, et l’on vous donnera : c’est une mesure bien pleine, tassée, secouée, débordante, qui sera versée dans le pan de votre vêtement ; car la mesure dont vous vous servez pour les autres servira de mesure aussi pour vous.»

Mon Père qui es aux cieux, tu es grand et digne de crainte. Père éternel, tu es plein de compassion. Père miséricordieux, aie pitié de moi. Seigneur, j'ai péché contre Toi. Père, pardonne-moi, car tu es intègre et fidèle. Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Seigneur, il est si facile de voir le mal chez les autres, en négligeant mes propres fautes. Aide-moi, mon Seigneur et mon Rédempteur. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Mon ange gardien, priez pour moi. Priez le Rosaire : les Mystères Douloureux.

Parfois, nous disons : « Je ne peux pas me pardonner. » Paul, dans Romains 8:1, dit : « Ceux qui sont en Jésus-Christ ne sont pas condamnés ; la loi de l’Esprit de vie en Jésus-Christ vous a affranchis de la loi du péché et de la mort. »

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...
