THE ANGELS OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING

The Arch Angels: Saint Micheal, Gbriel and Rapheal
'You will see heaven laid open and, above the Son of Man, the angels of God ascending and descending.’

First Reading Daniel 7:9-10.13-14  His robe was white as snow

As I watched: Thrones were set up and the Ancient One took his throne. His clothing was bright as snow, and the hair on his head as white as wool; his throne was flames of fire, with wheels of burning fire. A surging stream of fire flowed out from where he sat; thousands upon thousands were ministering to him, and myriads upon myriads attended him. The court was convened, and the books were opened. As the visions during the night continued, I saw one like a son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; when he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him, he received dominion, glory, and kingship; nations and peoples of every language serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed
.

Responsorial Psalm: In the presence of the angels I will bless you, O Lord.

Gospel John 1:47-51  You will see heaven laid open, and the Son of Man

When Jesus saw Nathanael coming he said of him, ‘There is an Israelite who deserves the name, incapable of deceit.’ ‘How do you know me?’ said Nathanael. ‘Before Philip came to call you,’ said Jesus ‘I saw you under the fig tree.’ Nathanael answered, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel.’ Jesus replied, ‘You believe that just because I said: I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.’ And then he added ‘I tell you most solemnly, you will see heaven laid open and, above the Son of Man, the angels of God ascending and descending.’

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Host. Heaven and Earth are full of Your glory. Let the Angels praise and worship You God our Father. To You be all the glory, honor and adoration. Jesus, I trust in you. Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. Arch Angel Micheal, Gabriel and Rapheal, pray for me. My Angel Guardian, pray for me.

Let us pray the Rosary: Hail Mary full of grace.

«Vous verrez le ciel ouvert et les anges de Dieu monter et descendre sur le Fils de l'homme»

AELF: Saint Michel, Saint Gabriel et Saint Raphaël, Archanges

Évangile Jean 1,47-51 «Vous verrez le ciel ouvert et le Fils de l'homme»

Jésus, voyant venir à lui Nathanaël, dit de lui: «Voici vraiment un Israélite, dans lequel il n'y a point de fraude». «D'où me connais-tu?», lui dit Nathanaël. Jésus lui répondit: «Avant que Philippe t'appelât, quand tu étais sous le figuier, je t'ai vu». Nathanaël répondit et lui dit: «Rabbi, tu es le Fils de Dieu, tu es le roi d'Israël». Jésus lui répondit: «Parce que je t'ai dit que je t'ai vu sous le figuier, tu crois; tu verras de plus grandes choses que celles-ci. Et il lui dit: En vérité, en vérité, vous verrez désormais le ciel ouvert et les anges de Dieu monter et descendre sur le Fils de l'homme».

Saint, saint, saint, Seigneur, Dieu des armées. Le ciel et la terre sont remplis de Ta gloire. Que les anges Te louent et T'adorent, Dieu notre Père. À Toi toute gloire, honneur et adoration. Jésus, j'ai confiance en Toi. Vierge Marie, priez pour moi. Saint Joseph, priez pour moi. Archanges Michel, Gabriel et Raphaël, priez pour moi. Mon ange gardien, priez pour moi.

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

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter  'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading  Acts 6:1-7  They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide -   ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1  'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28  I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
