Thursday, Week 17 in Ordinary Time : 'As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so you are in mine.'
First Reading Jeremiah 18:1-6 When the clay goes wrong, the potter starts afresh
The word that was addressed to Jeremiah by the Lord, ‘Get up and make your way down to the potter’s house; there I shall let you hear what I have to say.’ So I went down to the potter’s house; and there he was, working at the wheel. And whenever the vessel he was making came out wrong, as happens with the clay handled by potters, he would start afresh and work it into another vessel, as potters do. Then this word of the Lord was addressed to me, ‘House of Israel, can not I do to you what this potter does? – it is the Lord who speaks. Yes, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so you are in mine, House of Israel.’
Responsorial Psalm: He is happy who is helped by Jacob’s God.
Gospel Matthew 13:47-53
The fishermen collect the good fish and throw away those that are no use
Jesus said to the crowds: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea that brings in a haul of all kinds. When it is full, the fishermen haul it ashore; then, sitting down, they collect the good ones in a basket and throw away those that are no use. This is how it will be at the end of time: the angels will appear and separate the wicked from the just to throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
‘Have you understood all this?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ And he said to them, ‘Well then, every scribe who becomes a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out from his storeroom things both new and old.’
When Jesus had finished these parables he left the district.
My Father in heaven, my God, you are the Potter, I am the clay in your loving hands. Mould me for I am yours. Father, do not cast me away from you. Teach me, make know your will. Jesus, I trust in you. Lord. you are the way, the truth and life. Be with me Lord, make me a good disciple.
Let us pray the Rosary. Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. My Angel guardian, pray for me.
AELF: SOYEZ UN BON DISCIPLE
« Comme l’argile est dans la main du potier, ainsi
êtes-vous dans ma main»
Évangile
Matthieu 13, 47-53
«On ramasse dans
des paniers ce qui est bon, et on rejette ce qui ne vaut rien»
En ce temps-là ,
Jésus disait aux foules : « Le royaume des Cieux est encore comparable à un
filet que l’on jette dans la mer, et qui ramène toutes sortes de poissons.
Quand il est plein, on le tire sur le rivage, on s’assied, on ramasse dans des
paniers ce qui est bon, et on rejette ce qui ne vaut rien. Ainsi en sera-t-il Ã
la fin du monde : les anges sortiront pour séparer les méchants du milieu des
justes et les jetteront dans la fournaise : là , il y aura des pleurs et des
grincements de dents. »
« Avez-vous compris tout cela ? » Ils lui répondent : «
Oui ». Jésus ajouta : « C’est pourquoi tout scribe devenu disciple du royaume
des Cieux est comparable à un maître de maison qui tire de son trésor du neuf
et de l’ancien. » Lorsque
Mon Père céleste, mon Dieu, tu es le Potier, je suis l'argile dans tes mains aimantes. Façonne-moi, car je suis à toi. Père, ne me rejette pas loin de toi. Enseigne-moi, fais-moi connaître ta volonté. Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Seigneur, tu es le chemin, la vérité et la vie. Reste avec moi, Seigneur, fais de moi un bon disciple..
