GOD'S GREATNESS

Friday Week 26 in Ordinary Time: The Holy Angels

See that you never despise any of these little ones'

First Reading Job 38:1.12-21; 40:3-5 The immeasurable greatness of God

The Lord addressed Job out of the storm and said: «Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morning and shown the dawn its place for taking hold of the ends of the earth, till the wicked are shaken from its surface? The earth is changed as is clay by the seal, and dyed as though it were a garment; but from the wicked the light is withheld, and the arm of pride is shattered. Have you entered into the sources of the sea, or walked about in the depths of the abyss? »Have the gates of death been shown to you, or have you seen the gates of darkness? Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Tell me, if you know all: Which is the way to the dwelling place of light, and where is the abode of darkness, that you may take them to their boundaries and set them on their homeward paths? You know, because you were born before them, and the number of your years is great!». Then Job answered the Lord and said: «Behold, I am of little account; what can I answer you? I put my hand over my mouth. Though I have spoken once, I will not do so again; though twice, I will do so no more».

Responsorial Psalm: Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.

Gospel Matthew 18:1-5,10 Anyone who welcomes a little child in my name welcomes me

The disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ So he called a little child to him and set the child in front of them. Then he said, ‘I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Anyone who welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. See that you never despise any of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven are continually in the presence of my Father in heaven.’

My Father, my God, thank you for my Guardian Angel. Father, guide me. Jesus, I trust in you. Virgin Mary, pray for me. Saint Joseph, pray for me. God's Holy Angels, pray for me. My Angel Guardian, pray for me.

Let us pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Mary. Hail Queen of Angels

vendredi, 26ème Semaine du Temps Ordinaire : Saints Anges Gardiens

«Gardez-vous de mépriser un seul de ces petits»

Évangile Matthieu 18, 1-5,10 

« Celui qui accueille un enfant comme celui-ci en mon nom, il m’accueille, moi »

À ce moment là, les disciples s’approchèrent de Jésus et lui dirent : « Qui donc est le plus grand dans le royaume des Cieux ? » Alors Jésus appela un petit enfant ; il le plaça au milieu d’eux, et il déclara : « Amen, je vous le dis : si vous ne changez pas pour devenir comme les enfants, vous n’entrerez pas dans le royaume des Cieux. Mais celui qui se fera petit comme cet enfant, celui-là est le plus grand dans le royaume des Cieux.  Et celui qui accueille un enfant comme celui-ci en mon nom, il m’accueille, moi. » Gardez-vous de mépriser un seul de ces petits, car, je vous le dis, leurs anges dans les cieux voient sans cesse la face de mon Père qui est aux cieux.

Mon Père, mon Dieu, merci pour mon Ange gardien. Père, guide-moi. Jésus, j'ai confiance en Toi. Vierge Marie, prie pour moi. Saint Joseph, prie pour moi. Saints Anges de Dieu, priez pour moi. Mon Ange gardien, prie pour moi.

Prions le saint Rosaire : Je vous salue, Marie. Salut, Reine des Anges.
