I AM THE RESURRECTION

Saint Matha : ‘Yes, Lord,’ she said ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God.'

First Reading Jeremiah 15:10:16-21 They will not overcome you, because I am with you

‘Woe is me, my mother, for you have borne me to be a man of strife and of dissension for all the land. I neither lend nor borrow, yet all of them curse me. ‘When your words came, I devoured them: your word was my delight and the joy of my heart; for I was called by your name, Lord, God of Hosts. I never took pleasure in sitting in scoffers’ company; with your hand on me I held myself aloof, since you had filled me with indignation. Why is my suffering continual, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Do you mean to be for me a deceptive stream with inconstant waters?’ To which the Lord replied, ‘If you come back, I will take you back into my service; and if you utter noble, not despicable, thoughts, you shall be as my own mouth. They will come back to you, but you must not go back to them. I will make you a bronze wall fortified against this people. They will fight against you but they will not overcome you, because I am with you to save you and to deliver you – it is the Lord who speaks. I mean to deliver you from the hands of the wicked and redeem you from the clutches of the violent.’

Gospel John11:19-27 I am the resurrection and the life

Many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to sympathise with them over their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus had come she went to meet him. Mary remained sitting in the house. Martha said to Jesus, ‘If you had been here, my brother would not have died, but I know that, even now, whatever you ask of God, he will grant you.’ ‘Your brother’ said Jesus to her ‘will rise again.’ Martha said, ‘I know he will rise again at the resurrection on the last day.’ Jesus said: ‘I am the resurrection and the life. If anyone believes in me, even though he dies he will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’

‘Yes, Lord,’ she said ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world.’

My God, my Father, I delight in  your words. Your word is the joy of my heart. Father you called me  by your name. You alone Father is Lord, God of Hosts. Father, thank you for your Son Jesus Christ. He is the Saviour of the world. Our long expected Redeemer. Jesus, I trust in you. You are the resurrection and the life. He who believes in you will never die. Lord I believe in you. Your blessed Mother, Virgin Mary was your first disciple, she never doubted your divinity. Saint Joseph your foster father believed in you. Your Apostles believed in you. the Saints believed in you. They are the witnesses of God's mercy and Love. We in our Creed believe in you, Lord. Lord, remember your promise to us your people, your family.

Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. Saint Martha, pray for me. My Angel guardian, pray for me. 

Pray the Rosary: Hail Mary full of grace.

Evangile

Mon Dieu, mon Père, je trouve ma joie dans tes paroles. Ta parole est la joie de mon cœur. Père, tu m'as appelé par ton nom. Toi seul, Père, es le Seigneur, le Dieu des armées. Père, merci pour ton Fils Jésus-Christ. Il est le Sauveur du monde. Notre Rédempteur.  Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Tu es la résurrection et la vie. Celui qui te croit ne mourra jamais. Seigneur, je te crois. Ta sainte Mère, la Vierge Marie, fut ta première disciple; elle n'a douté ta divinité. Saint Joseph, ton père nourricier, te croyait. Tes Apôtres, les saints t’ont cru. Ils sont les témoins de la miséricorde Dieu et son amour. Dans notre Credo, nous croyons en toi. Seigneur, souviens-toi de ta promesse envers nous, ton peuple, ta famille.

Vierge Marie, prie pour moi. Saint Joseph, prie pour moi. Sainte Marthe, prie pour moi. Mon ange gardien, prie pour moi.

Priez le chapelet : Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâce..
