WHERE DID THE MAN GET IT ALL

Saint Ignatius of Layola:‘A prophet is only despised in his own country and in his own house’

First Reading Jeremiah 25:1-9 

Jeremiah preaches in the Temple of the Lord and is threatened with death

At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word was addressed to Jeremiah by the Lord, ‘The Lord says this: Stand in the court of the Temple of the Lord. To all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in the Temple of the Lord you must speak all the words I have commanded you to tell them; do not omit one syllable. Perhaps they will listen and each turn from his evil way: if so, I shall relent and not bring the disaster on them which I intended for their misdeeds. Say to them, “The Lord says this: If you will not listen to me by following my Law which I put before you, by paying attention to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send so persistently to you, without your ever listening to them, I will treat this Temple as I treated Shiloh, and make this city a curse for all the nations of the earth.”’

The priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah say these words in the Temple of the Lord. When Jeremiah had finished saying everything that the Lord had ordered him to say to all the people, the priests and prophets seized hold of him and said, ‘You shall die! Why have you made this prophecy in the name of the Lord, “This Temple will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, and uninhabited”?’ And the people were all crowding round Jeremiah in the Temple of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm: In your great love, answer me, O God.

Gospel Matthew 13:5-58 A prophet is only despised in his own country

Coming to his home town, Jesus taught the people in their synagogue in such a way that they were astonished and said, ‘Where did the man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? This is the carpenter’s son, surely? Is not his mother the woman called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Jude? His sisters, too, are they not all here with us? So where did the man get it all?’ And they would not accept him. But Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is only despised in his own country and in his own house’, and he did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

My Father, my God my prayer to you, my prayer for your favour. Father, in your great love, answer me, my God, with your help that never fails.

Jesus, I trust in you. Lord. you are the way, the truth and life.  Let us pray the Rosary. Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. Saint Ignatius of Layola, pray for me. My Angel guardian, pray for me.  

AELF: « D’OÙ LUI VIENNENT CETTE SAGESSE »

«Un prophète n'est méprisé que dans sa patrie et dans sa propre maison»

Évangile Matthieu 13, 54-58 

«Un prophète n'est méprisé que dans sa patrie et dans sa propre maison»

Ence temps-là, Jésus se rendit dans son lieu d’origine, et il enseignait les gens dans leur synagogue, de telle manière qu’ils étaient frappés d’étonnement et disaient : « D’où lui viennent cette sagesse et ces miracles ? N’est-il pas le fils du charpentier ? Sa mère ne s’appelle-t-elle pas Marie, et ses frères : Jacques, Joseph, Simon et Jude ? Et ses sœurs ne sont-elles pas toutes chez nous ? Alors, d’où lui vient tout cela ? » Et ils étaient profondément choqués à son sujet. Jésus leur dit : « Un prophète n’est méprisé que dans son pays et dans sa propre maison. » Et il ne fit pas beaucoup de miracles à cet endroit-là, à cause de leur manque de foi.

Mon Père, mon Dieu je te prie, Seigneur, ma prière c’est de ton faveur faveur. Père, dans ton grand amour, mon Dieu, réponds-moi, par ta grande fidélité sauve-moi.

Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Seigneur, tu es le chemin, la vérité et de la vie.  Prions le chapelet. Vierge Marie, prie pour moi. Saint Joseph, prie pour  moi. Saint Ignace de layola, prie pour moi. Mon ange gardien, prie pour moi.
