R. My Way of Life
"The gifts which Adam lost for himself
and for all men are summed up in
the name Original justice. Original
Justice is a condition of human nature
in which all man's powers exist
and act in perfect harmony with
one another and in subjection to God."
Matthew 28: 18-20
... Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said,
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go,
therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I
am with you always; yes, to the end of time.
Today's Readings
Joel 1: 13-15; 2: 1-2
Priests, put on sackcloth and lament! You
ministers of the altar, wail! Come here, lie in
sackcloth all night long, you ministers of my
God! For the
Temple of your
God has been
deprived of cereal offering and libation. Order
a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly; you elders,
summon everybody in the country to the
Temple of
Yahweh your
God. Cry out to Yahweh: 'Alas for the day! For
the Day of
Yahweh is near,
coming as destruction from Shaddai.'
Blow the ram's-horn in Zion,
sound the alarm on my holy
mountain! Let everybody in the
country tremble, for the Day of
Yahweh
is coming, yes, it is near. Day
of darkness and gloom, Day of
cloud and blackness. Like the
dawn, across the mountains
spreads a vast and mighty
people, such as has never been
before, such as
will
never be again to the remotest
ages.
Psalm 9: 2-3,
6, 16, 8-9
I rejoice and delight in you,
I sing to your name, Most High.
My enemies are in retreat,
they stumble and perish at your
presence,
the enemy is
wiped out mere
ruins for ever
you have
annihilated
their cities,
their
memory
has perished.
Yahweh has made
himself known,
given judgement,
he has ensnared
the wicked in
the work of
their own hands.
he
will
himself judge
the world in
uprightness,
will
give a true
verdict on the
nations.
May
Yahweh
be a stronghold
for the
oppressed,
a stronghold in
times of
trouble!
Luke 11: 15-26
But some of them said, 'It is through Beelzebul,
the prince of devils, that he drives devils
out.' Others asked him, as a test, for a sign
from heaven; but, knowing what they were
thinking, he said to them, 'Any kingdom which is
divided against itself is heading for ruin, and
house collapses against house. So, too, with
Satan: if he is divided against himself, how can
his kingdom last? - since you claim that it is
through Beelzebul that I drive devils out. Now
if it is through Beelzebul that I drive devils
out, through whom do your own sons drive them
out? They shall be your judges, then. But if it
is through the finger of
God that I
drive devils out, then the kingdom of
God has indeed
caught you unawares. So long as a strong
man fully armed
guards his own home, his goods are undisturbed;
but when someone stronger than himself attacks
and defeats him, the stronger
man takes away
all the weapons he relied on and shares out his
spoil.
'Anyone who is not with me is against me; and
anyone who does not gather in with me throws
away.
'When an unclean
spirit goes out
of someone it wanders through waterless country
looking for a place to rest, and not finding one
it says, "I
will go back to
the home I came from." But on arrival, finding
it swept and tidied, it then goes off and brings
seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and
they go in and set up house there, and so that
person ends up
worse off than before.'
R. Why attack your own army
Satan comes back to those he has
worked before and
attacks with his army
Satan wants the soul to operate
through
Satan works in anger
A person acting because they
are angry at their brother
is opening a door to satan
and things go dark and down
because satan is relentless
Satan works in vices
bad habits
Satan returns with 7 demons
this says
The devil is looking for someone
to devour
God may give us a great grace
and we can turn away from the
Lord
Proverbs 26: 11
As a dog returns to
its vomit,
so a fool reverts to his folly.
R. We see St. Peter denied God.
We see St. Paul in yesterday's Gospel
St. Stephen was murdered
Acts 7: 51 - 8: 1
'You stubborn people, with
uncircumcised hearts and 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? They killed those who foretold the coming of
the Upright One, and now you have become his betrayers,
his murderers. In spite of being given the Law through
angels, you 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. 'Look! I can see heaven thrown open,' he said,
'and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.'
All the members of the council shouted out and stopped
their ears with their hands; then they made a concerted
rush at him, thrust him out of the city and stoned him.
The witnesses put down their clothes at the feet of a
young man called Saul. As they were stoning him, Stephen
said in invocation, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.'
Then he knelt down and said aloud, 'Lord, do not hold
this sin against them.' And with these words he fell
asleep.
Saul approved
of the killing.
R. When we try to do good, we must pray
for continual grace to serve God
for we were created to know, love
and serve the Lord
God calls us to holiness
God wants us full of love
Pray to be abundantly filled with
God's grace
Give
what counts this Christmas
