BE READY FOR ACTION

Tuesday Weel 29 in Ordinary Time

First Reading Ephesians 2:12-22 In Christ you are no longer aliens, but citizens like us

Do not forget that you had no Christ and were excluded from membership of Israel, aliens with no part in the covenants with their Promise; you were immersed in this world, without hope and without God. But now in Christ Jesus, you that used to be so far apart from us have been brought very close, by the blood of Christ. For he is the peace between us, and has made the two into one and broken down the barrier which used to keep them apart, actually destroying in his own person the hostility caused by the rules and decrees of the Law. This was to create one single New Man in himself out of the two of them and by restoring peace through the cross, to unite them both in a single Body and reconcile them with God: in his own person he killed the hostility. Later he came to bring the good news of peace, peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near at hand. Through him, both of us have in the one Spirit our way to come to the Father.

So you are no longer aliens or foreign visitors: you are citizens like all the saints, and part of God’s household. You are part of a building that has the apostles and prophets for its foundations, and Christ Jesus himself for its main cornerstone. As every structure is aligned on him, all grow into one holy temple in the Lord; and you too, in him, are being built into a house where God lives, in the Spirit.

Responsorial Psalm:The Lord speaks peace to his people.

Gospel Luke 12:35-38 Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit

Jesus said to his disciples:

‘See that you are dressed for action and have your lamps lit. Be like men waiting for their master to return from the wedding feast, ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks. Happy those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. I tell you solemnly, he will put on an apron, sit them down at table and wait on them. It may be in the second watch he comes, or in the third, but happy those servants if he finds them ready.’

My God direct my steps. I want to follow you. Father I cannot do without you. Holy Spirit be my guide. Jesus, I trust in you. Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. My Angel Guardian, pray for me.

Let us pray the Holy Rosary: Mother of Divine grace, pray for us.

Évangile Luc 12,35-38 «Restez en tenue de service, et gardez vos lampes allumées»

«Restez en tenue de service, et gardez vos lampes allumées. Soyez comme des gens qui attendent leur maître à son retour des noces, pour lui ouvrir dès qu'il arrivera et frappera à la porte. Heureux les serviteurs que le maître, à son arrivée, trouvera en train de veiller. Amen, je vous le dis: il prendra la tenue de service, les fera passer à table et les servira chacun à son tour. S'il revient vers minuit ou plus tard encore et qu'il les trouve ainsi, heureux sont-ils!».

Mon Dieu, dirige mes pas. Je veux te suivre. Père, je ne peux pas me passer de toi. Saint-Esprit, sois mon guide. Jésus, j'ai confiance en toi. Vierge Marie, prie pour moi. Saint Joseph, prie pour moi. Mon Ange gardien, prie pour moi.

Prions le saint rosaire : Mère de la grâce divine , prie pour nous.
